BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 2157-188] Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County, WA; Notice of Availability of Final Environmental Assessment November 4, 2010. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's) regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations

(CFR)part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 **Federal Register** [FR] 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County's application for license for the Henry M. Jackson Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 2157-188), located on the Sultan River 20 miles east of the city of Everett, Snohomish County. The project currently underlies a total of 10.9 acres of federal lands in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. Staff prepared a final environmental assessment (EA), which analyzes the potential environmental effects of relicensing 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 EA is available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at *http://www.ferc.gov* using the “eLibrary” link.
