[Project No. 2106—047–California]

Pacific Gas and Electric; Notice of Site

Visit

(August 23, 2006).

On September 19 and September 20,

2006, the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (Commission) Staff and

Pacific Gas and Electric Company, the

applicant, will conduct an on-site visit

of the McCloud-Pit Project located on

the McCloud and Pit Rivers in Shasta

County, California. Under the Integrated

Licensing Process (ILP), the Commission

conducts its National Environmental

Policy Act (NEPA) scoping meeting

within 90 days of the filing of the

applicant’s Notice of Intent and PreApplication Document. A site visit is

typically held in conjunction with that

scoping meeting; however, scoping for

this project is currently planned for

October 23 and 24, 2006 and access to

some project facilities may be limited by

weather conditions. For this reason, the

Commission will host the site visit

earlier in the process. The Commission

encourages all interested parties to

participate in this site visit to ensure a

productive scoping meeting in October

2006.

The site visit is open to the public and

resource agencies. Participants are

responsible for their own transportation,

but car pooling is encouraged as much

as possible. Some roads in upper

watershed locations are unpaved and

may be in poor condition—4-wheel

drive is recommended, but not required.

Also, portions of the tour may require

hiking steep trails in remote locations,

so please plan accordingly. Tour days

may be long, so please bring food and

water. A tentative schedule is provided

below (times given are in Pacific

Daylight Savings):
