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’ staff has reviewed the

application for new license for the

Osage Project, located on the Osage

River in south central Missouri, and has

prepared a final Environmental

Assessment (EA) for the project. In the

final EA, Commission staff analyzed the

potential environmental effects of

relicensing the project and concluded

that issuing a new license for the

project, with appropriate environmental

measures, would not constitute a major

Federal action that would significantly

affect the quality of the human

environment.

A copy of the final EA is available for

review 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 accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR part

380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the

Office of Energy Projects has reviewed

an application for non-project use of

project lands and waters and has

prepared an environmental assessment

(EA) for public review. The licensees

seek Commission approval to permit use

of the Conowingo Hydroelectric Project,

FERC No. 405, reservoir and lands to

withdraw and discharge water. The EA

analyzes the environmental impacts of

the proposed water withdrawal and

discharge. The project is located on the

Susquehanna River in Hartford and

Cecil Counties in Maryland, and York

and Lancaster Counties in Pennsylvania.

The EA was written by staff in the

Office of Energy Projects, Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission

(Commission). A copy of the EA is

attached to a Commission order titled

‘‘Order Modifying and Approving NonProject Use of Project Lands and

Waters’’ issued August 8, 2006 and is

available for review at the Commission

or may be viewed on the Commission’s

Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using
