To Discuss the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Upper 
American River Hydroelectric Projects

October 15, 2007.
    On September 21, 2007, the Commission issued the Upper American 
River Hydroelectric Project and Chili Bar Hydroelectric Project Draft 
Environmental Impact Statement (draft EIS) and mailed it to resource

individuals.
    The Environmental Protection Agency noticed the draft EIS in the 
Federal Register on September 28, 2007 (72 FR 55201); comments are due 
November 13, 2007. The draft EIS evaluates the environmental 
consequences and developmental benefits of issuing new licenses for 
operating and maintaining the Upper American River Project and the 
Chili Bar Project, which are located in El Dorado and Sacramento 
Counties, California. Besides evaluating the projects as they now 
operate, the draft EIS evaluates the projects with the Settlement 
Agreement and with staff-recommended measures.
    The public meeting, which will be recorded by an official 
stenographer, is scheduled as follows.
    Date: Monday, November 5, 2007.
    Time: 7-9:30 p.m. (PST).

record.
