[Project No. 2242-078]


Eugene Water and Electric Board, Oregon; Notice of Availability 
of Environmental Assessment

September 17, 2009.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 380 (Order No. 
486, 52 Federal Register [FR] 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the Eugene Water and Electric Board's application for license 
for the Carmen-Smith Project (FERC No. 2242-078), located in on the 
McKenzie River in Lane and Linn counties, near McKenzie Bridge, Oregon. 
The project occupies approximately 574 acres of the Willamette National 
Forest managed by

the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. Eugene Water and 
Electric Board proposes no new capacity.
    Staff prepared an environmental assessment (EA), which analyzes the 
potential environmental effects of relicensing 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
