Post Falls Hydroelectric Project, Spokane River Developments
Project, Avista Corporation Spokane, WA; Notice of Intent To Hold a
Public Meeting To Discuss the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for
the Spokane River Developments and Post Falls Hydroelectric Projects

January 9, 2007.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC)
regulations contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)(18 CFR
Part 380 [FERC Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897]) the Office of Energy
Projects staff (staff) reviewed the applications for New Major Licenses
for the Spokane River Developments and Post Falls Project Hydroelectric
Projects. Staff prepared a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS)
for the projects which are located on the Spokane River, Washington.
    The DEIS contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental
effects of the projects and concludes that licensing the projects, with
staff's recommended measures, would not constitute a major federal
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
Copies of the DEIS have been sent to Federal, State, and local
agencies; public interest groups; and individuals on the Commission's
mailing list.
    A copy of the DEIS is available for review at the Commission's
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``e-Library'' link. Enter the docket
number (P-2545) or (P-12606), to access the document. For assistance,
contact FERC Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll-free
at (866) 208-2376, or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
    Comments should be filed with Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
20426. All comments must be filed by March 6, 2007, and should
reference Project Nos. 2545-091 and 12606-000. Comments may be filed
electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. The Commission
strongly encourages electronic filings. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)
and instructions on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov
under the eLibrary link.
    In addition to or in lieu of sending written comments, the public
is invited to attend one or both meetings that will be held in Spokane,
Washington to receive comments on the draft EIS. Both meetings are open
to anyone who would like to provide comments. The meeting format will
be the same for either meeting. The meetings will be recorded by a
court reporter, and all statements (verbal and written) will become
part of the Commission's public record for the project. The time and
location of the meetings are as follows:
    Date: February 8, 2007.
    Times: Morning Meeting 9 a.m.--12 noon (PST); Evening Meeting 6
p.m.--9 p.m.
