result in any impact on certificated 

capacity on its system or in a reduction 

in firm service to existing customers of 

Texas Eastern. 

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 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 

five 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 commentors 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 commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

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. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit original 

and five copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE, Washington, DC 20426.

k. Project Description: The Gonzales 

Project consists of: (1) A 15-foot-high, 

258-foot-long, concrete Ambursen dam 

with a 178-foot-long ogee-type spillway; 

(2) a reservoir with a surface area of 300 

acres and a storage capacity of 1,400 

acre-feet; (3) an intake structure 

comprised of six wooden water control 

gates; (4) an 80-foot-long, 20-foot-wide 

brick powerhouse containing three 

generating units with a total capacity of 

1,140 kilowatts; (5) two 50-foot-long 

underground 5-kilovolt cables to a stepup transformer; and (6) an above-ground 

transmission line connecting the stepup transformer to a distribution line 

near the access road to the project. The 

Gonzales Project is a conventional 

project generating 1,314 megawatt-hours 

of electricity annually. 

The project is operated as a run-ofriver facility with no impoundment 

fluctuation. When flows exceed the 

minimum flow requirement of 200 cubic 

feet per second (cfs) and a minimum of 

9 feet of head height is achieved, 

generation can commence. When flows 

exceed the combined capacity of all 

three turbines (1,161 cfs), excess flows 

are passed over the spillway dam.

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 1510–018] 

City of Kaukauna, Wisconsin; Notice of 

Availability of Environmental 

Assessment 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission) 

regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office 

of Energy Projects has reviewed the 

application for a new license for the 

Kaukauna Hydro Project, located on the 

Lower Fox River, in the City of 

Kaukauna, Outagamie County, 

Wisconsin, and has prepared an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 

project. 

The EA contains 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. 

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 website at http://

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