Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either: complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify Federal and 

State agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

Federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

14 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commenters will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commenters will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commenters 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

Motions to intervene, protests and 

comments may be filed electronically 

via the Internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 

CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the 

instructions on the Commission’s Web 

site under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link. The 

Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 2165–029] 

Alabama Power Company; Notice of 

Availability of Environmental 

Assessment 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR part 

380, the Office of Energy Projects has 

reviewed an application filed by 

Alabama Power Company on June 5, 

2009, requesting Commission approval 

to permit Mr. Lynn Layton (permittee) 

to construct and operate three covered 

10-slip boat docks and a concrete patio 

at Cushman’s Marina, located on the 

Lewis Smith Development of the 

Warrior River Project (FERC No. 2165). 

The Lewis Smith Development is 

located on the headwaters of the Black 

Warrior River on the Sipsey Fork in 

Cullman, Walker, and Winston 

Counties, Alabama, and occupies 

2,691.44 acres of Federal lands 

administered by the U.S. Forest Service. 

An environmental assessment (EA) has 

been prepared as a part of Commission 

staff’s review. The EA evaluates the 

environmental impacts that would 

result from approving the licensee’s 

proposal and alternatives, and finds that 

approval of the application 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 (P–2165) 

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 tollfree at 1–866–208–3676, or for TTY, 

(202) 502–8659. 

Any comments should be filed by 

March 31, 2011. 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. To paperfile, comments should be addressed to 

Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Room 1–A, 

Washington, DC 20426. Please reference 

the project name and project number 

(P–2165) on all comments.

Carter at (678) 245–3083.
