Commission 

[Project No. 2466–037] 

Appalachian Power Company; Notice 

of Intent To Prepare an Environmental 

Assessment 

On February 28, 2022, Appalachian 

Power Company (Appalachian) filed an 

application for a new major license for 

the 2.4-megawatt Niagara Hydroelectric 

Project (Niagara Project; FERC No. 

2466). The Niagara Project is located on 

the Roanoke River, in Roanoke County, 

Virginia. The project is adjacent to and 

partially within the Blue Ridge 

Parkway. 

In accordance with the Commission’s 

regulations, on February 7, 2023, 

Commission staff issued a notice that 

the project was ready for environmental 

analysis (REA Notice). Based on the 

information in the record, including 

comments filed on the REA Notice, staff 

does not anticipate that licensing the 

project would constitute a major federal 

action significantly affecting the quality 

of the human environment. On April 26, 

2023, the Commission issued a notice 

indicating that staff intended to prepare 

a draft and final Environmental 

Assessment (EA). However, upon 

further review, staff intends to prepare 

a single EA on the application to 

relicense the Niagara Project. 

The EA will be issued and circulated 

for review by all interested parties. All 

comments filed on the EA will be 

analyzed by staff and considered in the 

Commission’s final licensing decision. 

The Commission’s Office of Public 

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful 

public engagement and participation in 

Commission proceedings. OPP can help 

members of the public, including 

landowners, environmental justice 

communities, Tribal members and 

others, access publicly available 

information and navigate Commission 

processes. For public inquiries and 

assistance with making filings such as 

interventions, comments, or requests for 

rehearing, the public is encouraged to 

contact OPP at (202) 502–6595 or OPP@

ferc.gov. 

By this notice, Commission staff is 

updating the procedural schedule for 

completing the EA. The revised 

schedule is shown below. Further 

revisions to the schedule may be made 

as appropriate.

LinkPast Solutions, Inc.; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On June 26, 2023, LinkPast Solutions, 

Inc., filed an application for a 

preliminary permit, pursuant to section 

4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 

proposing to study the feasibility of 

hydropower on the Black River in 

Jefferson County, New York. The sole 

purpose of a preliminary permit, if 

issued, is to grant the permit holder 

priority to file a license application 

during the permit term. A preliminary 

permit does not authorize the permit 

holder to perform any land-disturbing 

activities or otherwise enter upon lands 

or waters owned by others without the 

owners’ express permission. 

The proposed Sewalls Island Hydro 

Project would be located on the North 

Channel of the Black River at Sewalls 

Island in Watertown, New York. The 

proposed project would operate with 

flows below the minimum and above 

the maximum hydraulic capacities of
