Southern California Edison Company; Notice of Availability of 
Draft Environmental Assessment

March 23, 1995.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for new license 
for an existing licensed hydropower project on the Kern River owned and 
operated by the Southern California Edison Company: the Kern River No. 
3 Project No. 2290, located in Kern and Tulare Counties, California. 
Subsequently, the Commission's staff prepared a Draft Environmental 
Assessment (DEA) that discusses the relicensing of the project.
    In the DEA, staff evaluates the potential environmental impacts 
that would result from the continued operation of the project. Staff 
concludes that relicensing the project with appropriate enhancement 
measures would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 3104, of the Commission's offices at 941 North Capitol 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    Any comments should be filed within 45 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix Project No. 2290 to the first page 
of all comments.
    For further information, please contact Kathleen Sherman, 
Environmental Coordinator, at [phone].
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
