Southern California Edison Company, Pacific Gas & Electric 
Company; Notice of Availability of Final Environmental Assessment

September 27, 2005.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the applications for license for the 
Borel Hydroelectric

[[Page 57593]]

Project (P-382-026) and Kern Canyon Hydroelectric Project (P-178-017) 
and has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the 
projects. The Borel Hydroelectric Project is located on the Kern River 
near the town of Bodfish in Kern County, California. The canal intake 
for the project is located on approximately 188 acres of Sequoia 
National Forest Service lands. The Kern Canyon Hydroelectric Project is 
located on the Kern River, near the town of Bakersfield in Kern County, 
California. The project occupies approximately 11.26 acres of public 
land located within the Sequoia National Forest.
    The FEA contains the Staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of the projects and concludes that licensing the 
projects, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not 
constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the 
quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the FEA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The FEA is available for review at the 
Commission or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov
, using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number 

excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access 
the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
