DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2381-071]
PacifiCorp; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Assessment
On December 16, 2025, PacifiCorp filed an application for an
exemption from licensing for the existing 6.7-megawatt Ashton
Hydroelectric Project No. 2381. The project is located on the Henry's
Fork of the Snake River, in Fremont County, Idaho.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on June 15, 2026,
Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for
environmental analysis (REA notice). Based on the information in the
record, including comments filed on the REA Notice, staff does not
anticipate that licensing the project would constitute a major federal
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
Therefore, staff intends to prepare an environmental assessment (EA) on
the application to relicense the project.\1\

\1\ For tracking purposes under the National Environmental
Policy Act, the unique identification number for documents relating
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1787238345.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EA will be issued and circulated for review by all interested
parties. All comments filed on the EA will be analyzed by staff and
considered in the Commission's final licensing decision.
For public inquiries and assistance with making filings such as
interventions, comments, or requests for rehearing, contact the Office
