Public Utility District No. 1 of Pend Oreille County; Notice of 
Availability of Environmental Assessment

February 26, 1999.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR Part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47910), the Office of Hydropower Licensing 
(OHL) reviewed the proposal to add project lands in the upstream 
portion of the project reservoir that were not included within the 
original project boundary for the Box Canyon Hydroelectric Project in 
Pend Oreille County, Washington. In addition OHL reviewed an Offer of 
Settlement made by the parties to this proceeding. The Commission 
prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the proposed action and 
offer of settlement. In the EA, the Commission concludes that approval 
of the proposed boundary change and offer of settlement will not 
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is available for inspection and reproduction at 
the Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, 
NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, or by calling [phone]. The EA 
may be viewed on the web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-
208-2222 for assistance).
    Any questions on this notice should be addressed to James 
Hastreiter, E-mail address [e-mail], or telephone 
503-326-5858, ext. 225.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
