DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 12455-004 (PA)]

 
Borough of Lehighton, PA; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

May 2, 2008.
    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 an original license 
for the Beltzville Hydroelectric Project (project), to be located on 
Pohopoco Creek in Carbon County, Pennsylvania, and has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps 
of Engineers (Corps of Engineers) and the Delaware River Basin 
Commission (Basin Commission). In the 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 EA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's 
Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the 
docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number 
field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online 
Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll-free at 1-866-208-3676, 
or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the issuance date 
of this notice, and should be addressed to the Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Room 1-A, 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Beltzville Hydroelectric Project 
No. 12455-004'' to all comments. Comments may be filed electronically 
via Internet in lieu of paper. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings (See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions 
on the Commission's Web site under the ``eFiling'' link). For further 
information, contact John Ramer at (202) 502-8969.
