Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 1417-080]

 
Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District; Notice of 
Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment

August 29, 2002.
    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 a Land and Shoreline Management Plan 
for the Kingsley Dam Hydroelectric Project, located on the North Platte 
and Platte Rivers, in Garden, Keith, Lincoln, Dawson, and Gosper 
Counties, Nebraska, and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment 
(DEA). The Kingsley Dam Project does not occupy any federal or tribal 
lands.
    The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of the project and concludes that approving the 
Land and Shoreline Management Plan, would not constitute a major 
federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment.
    A copy of the DEA 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 ``FERRIS'' link. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access 
the document. For assistance, call (202) 502-8222 or for TTY, (202) 
208-1659.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to: Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 
20426. Please affix Project No. 1417-080 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.
