DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2778-035]

Idaho Power Company; Notice of Availability of Supplemental
Environmental Assessment

December 4, 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) issued the draft environmental assessment (EA)
for the application for amendment of license on February 27, 2007, for
the Shoshone Falls Project, located on the Snake River, Jerome and Twin
Falls counties, Idaho. In addition, on March 2, 2007, pursuant to
section 10(j) of the Federal Power Act, staff issued a notice the
application has been accepted for filing and is ready for further
environmental analysis and requested motions to intervene, protests,
comments, recommendations, terms and conditions, and fishway
prescriptions. Staff reviewed all motions to intervene, protests,
comments, recommendations, terms and conditions, and fishway
prescriptions comments filed pursuant to the issuance of the draft EA
and prepared a supplemental EA for the project. In this supplemental
EA, staff analyzes the potential environmental effects of the proposed
amendment of license and concludes that the proposal would not
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment.
