The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable

establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

1. [Project No. 2545-205] In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC) regulations, 18 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed Avista Corporation's application for non-capacity amendment of the Spokane River Hydroelectric Project No. 2545 and have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. [1 ] The licensee proposes to rehabilitate the North Channel Dam by replacing all existing gates on the spillway. The project is located on the Spokane River in Spokane, Lincoln, and Stevens counties, Washington, and in Kootenai and Benewah counties, Idaho. The project occupies federal and tribal lands, including parts of the Coeur d'Alene Reservation.

The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential environmental effects of the proposed action, alternatives to the proposed action, and concludes that the proposed amendment, with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.

The EA may be viewed on the Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov using the “elibrary” link. Enter the docket number (P-2545) in the docket number field to access the document.
