The Bear River Project is located on Bear River in Franklin and Caribou counties, Idaho, and occupies Federal lands administered by the U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The Paris Project is located on Paris Creek in Bear Lake County, Idaho, and does not occupy Federal lands. PacifiCorp’s proposal to surrender the Paris Project conduit exemption (P–703) is part of a larger habitat restoration effort proposed by PacifiCorp and the parties to a relicensing settlement agreement for PacifiCorp’s Bear River Hydroelectric Project (P–20). PacifiCorp proposes to decommission the Paris Project and stop the diversion of water from Paris Creek into the irrigation canal that serves the Paris Project. After decommissioning and surrender, flows currently diverted through the canal would be returned to Paris Creek for the enhancement and restoration of approximately 3.5 miles of cold-water habitat for Bonneville Cutthroat Trout in the currently bypassed reach of Paris Creek. To partially mitigate the cost of the proposed decommissioning of the Paris Project, PacifiCorp proposes to amend the license for the Bear River Project to reduce the minimum instream flow requirement in the Grace Development’s bypassed reach. This reduction in required minimum instream flow would allow PacifiCorp to E:\FR\FM\31JAN1.SGM 31JAN1
