DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2069-007 Arizona]
Arizona Public Service Company; Notice of Availability of Draft
Environmental Assessment
June 4, 2003.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for surrender of
license for the major, constructed Childs Irving Hydroelectric Project.
The project is located on Fossil Creek, in Yavapai and Gila counties,
Arizona. The project is located entirely on lands of the National
Forest System: it occupies 326.8 acres within the Coconino National
Forest and 17.2 acres within the Tonto National Forest. The Commission
staff has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) on the
license surrender.
The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential
environmental impacts of the retirement of the project and the removal
of most of the project facilities, and has concluded that surrendering
the license, with appropriate environmental protection measures, would
not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect
the quality of the human environment.
A copy of the DEA 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 ``FERRIS'' link. Enter the docket
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to
access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll-free at 1-866-208-3676, or for TTY,

Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this
notice and should be addressed to Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
20426. Please affix Project No. 2069-007 to all comments. Comments may

Commission strongly encourages electronic filings. See 18 CFR
