February 5, 2009.
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No.
486, 52 FR 47879), the Office of Energy
Projects has reviewed the application
for a new major license for the
Packwood Lake Hydroelectric Project
(project), located on Lake Creek in
Lewis County, Washington, and has
prepared a draft Environmental
Assessment (EA). In the draft EA,
Commission staff analyze the potential
environmental effects of licensing the
project and conclude that issuing a
license for the project, with appropriate
environmental measures, would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
A copy of the draft EA is on file with
the Commission and is available for
public inspection. The draft EA may
also be viewed on the Commission’s
Web site at https://www.ferc.gov using
the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket

ACTION: Notice for public hearing and

SUMMARY: The Clean Air Act preempts
States from adopting emission standards
for new motor vehicles and motor
vehicle engines but requires EPA to
waive this preemption for California
unless EPA makes certain findings.
Acting at the direction of the California
legislature, the California Air Resources
Board (CARB) adopted greenhouse gas
emission regulations for passenger cars,
light-duty trucks and medium-duty
passenger vehicles beginning with the
2009 model year. By letter dated
December 21, 2005, CARB submitted a
request that EPA grant a waiver for these
regulations. EPA denied this request on
March 6, 2008. EPA believes that there
are significant issues regarding the
