DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 12690-005]


Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County, Washington; 
Notice of Availability of Final Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects reviewed the Public Utility District No. 1 of 
Snohomish County, Washington's (Snohomish PUD) application for a 10-
year license for the proposed Admiralty Inlet Pilot Tidal Project No. 
12690, which would be located in Admiralty Inlet in Puget Sound, near 
the City of Port Townsend, in Island County, Washington, and has 
prepared a final environmental assessment (FEA) in cooperation with the 
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE/EA-1949). In the FEA, Commission staff 
analyzed the potential environmental effects of constructing and 
operating the project and concludes that licensing the project, 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 available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at 
www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access

Reading Room Web site at http://www.eere.energy.gov/golden/NEPA_FEA_FONSI.aspx. Please reference DOE/EA-1949 in the National Environmental 
Policy Act, Documents section.
