    Public Utility District No. 1 of Chelan County, Washington; 
    Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement and To 
    Conduct a Scoping Meeting
    
    June 21, 1994.
        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 F.R. 47910), the Office of Hydropower Licensing 
    has reviewed the licensee's amendment application that proposes 
    modifications to the Rocky Reach Project facilities and operation. 
    Staff's initial evaluation of the proposed modifications was issued on 
    October 15, 1993, in a draft environmental assessment.
        A draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be issued and 
    circulated for review by all interested parties. All comments filed on 
    the draft EIS will be analyzed by staff and considered in the final 
    EIS. Staff's conclusions and recommendations will then be presented for 
    the consideration of the Commission in reaching its final decision.
    
    Scoping Meeting
    
        A public scoping meeting will be held Thursday July 28, 1994, 
    beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the Grant County Auditorium, 400 Douglas 
    Street, Wenatchee, Washington. An agency scoping meeting will be held 
    on Monday, July 25, 1994, from 8:00 a.m. until noon at the Portland 
    Building 2nd Floor Auditorium, 1120 SW. 5th Avenue, Portland, Oregon. 
    All interested individuals and organizations are invited to attend and 
    assist staff in identifying the scope of environmental issues that 
    should be analyzed in the EIS.
        The environmental assessment will be considered the initial scoping 
    document. Copies of the environmental assessment will be mailed to all 
    entities who have expressed interest in this proceeding. The 
    environmental assessment is also available in the Commission's 
    Reference and Information Center, Room 3308, of the Commission's 
    offices at 941 North Capital Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426 and will 
    be available at the scoping meeting. We encourage all interested 
    parties to read the environmental assessment prior to the scoping 
    meeting.
    
    Objectives
    
        At the scoping meeting the staff will: (1) describe the range of 
    issues being considered in this amendment application proceeding; (2) 
    review the conclusions and recommendations in the environmental 
    assessment; (4) identify any additional issues that should be included 
    in the EIS; and (5) obtain any additional information that any entity 
    feels should be considered during preparation of the EIS.
    
    Procedures
    
        The scoping meeting will be recorded by a stenographer and all 
    statements (oral and written) will become part of the Commission's 
    public record for this proceeding that was noticed on October 22, 1991. 
    Interested persons who are unable to attend, or do not choose to speak 
    at the scoping meeting, may submit written statements for inclusion in 
    the public record. All written comments must be filed with the 
    Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol 
    Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, on or before September 8, 1994.
        All written correspondence should clearly show on the first page of 
    each document the following caption: Rocky Reach Project, FERC Project 
    No. 2145-021.
        Further, please note the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
    Procedures, requiring all entities to file an original and eight copies 
    of any filing with the Commission. Parties filing documents must also 
    serve the documents on each person whose name is on the official
