DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2301-022, Montana]

 
PPL Montana; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

August 17, 2007.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for license for the 
Mystic Lake Hydroelectric Project, located on West Rosebud Creek, in 
Stillwater and Carbon counties, Montana, and has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. The project occupies 
about 674 acres of federal lands in the Custard National Forest managed 
by the U.S. Forest Service.
    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the project and concludes that licensing the 
project, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not 
constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the 
quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may 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 (866) 208-3676, or for TTY, 

(202) 502-8659.
    You may also register online at http://ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp
 to be notified via email of new filings and issuances 

related to this or other pending projects. For assistance, contact FERC 
Online Support.
    Consistent with the schedule included in the Commission's March 5, 
2007, notice, any comments on the EA should be filed by October 1, 
2007. Note that the due date in the process plan for comments on the EA 
was based on a 30-day comment period. We are maintaining the process 
plan schedule notwithstanding the early issuance of the EA. Comments on 
the EA should be addressed to Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426. Please affix Project No. 2301-022 to all comments. Comments may 
be filed electronically via the 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 
(http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
