addressed in the FEA.

The FEA contains the staff’s analysis

of the potential environmental impacts

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.

Copies of the FEA are available for

review in the Commission’s Public

Reference Room, Room 2A, at 888 First

Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426,
