o. Scoping Process: The Commission 

staff intends to prepare a single 

Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 

Broken Bow Re-Regulation Dam 

Hydropower Project in accordance with 

the National Environmental Policy Act. 

The EA will consider both site-specific 

and cumulative environmental impacts 

and reasonable alternatives to the 

proposed action. 

The Commission staff, agency 

representatives, and interested members 

of the public visited the project site and 

attended project information meetings 

conducted by the City of Broken Bow in 

2001. The City of Broken Bow worked 

with the resource agencies and members 

of the public under the Alternative 

Licensing Process in preparing the 

license application, including 

preparation of a Draft Environmental 

Assessment which was filed as part of 

the application. Therefore, we do not 

anticipate at this time that there is 

adequate justification: (1) To arrange for 

Commission staff and interested 

members of the public to visit the 

project site; or (2) to hold a public 

meeting near the project site. Instead, 

we are soliciting comments, 

recommendations, and information on 

the Scoping Document (SD) issued on 

April 24, 2007. 

Copies of the SD outlining the subject 

areas to be addressed in the EA were 

distributed to the parties on the 

Commission’s mailing list and the 

applicant’s service list. Copies of the SD 

may be viewed on the web at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link. 

Enter the docket number excluding the 

last three digits in the docket number 

field to access the document. For 

assistance, call 1–866–208–3676 or for 

TTY, (202) 502–8659.

Secretary.
