[Project No. 2195-011]

 
Clackamas River Hydroelectric Project, Portland General Electric 
Company, Clackamas County, OR; Notice of Availability of the Draft 
Environmental Impact Statement for the Clackamas River Hydroeletric 
Project and Intention To Hold a Public Meeting

June 16, 2006.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) 
regulations contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (18 CFR 
part 380 [FERC Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897]) the Office of Energy 
Projects staff (staff) reviewed the application for a New Major License 
for the Clackamas River Hydroelectric Project. Staff prepared a draft 
environmental impact statement

[[Page 35892]]

(DEIS) for the project which is located on the Clackamas River, 
Clackamas County, Oregon.
    The DEIS contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
effects of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with 
staff's recommended measures, would not constitute a major Federal 
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. 
Copies of the DEIS have been sent to Federal, State, and local 
agencies; public interest groups; and individuals on the Commission's 
mailing list.
    A copy of the DEIS is available for review at the Commission's 
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``e-Library'' link. Enter the docket 

number (P-2195), to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC
