DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 1417–277] 

Central Nebraska Public Power & 

Irrigation District; Notice of Intent To 

Prepare an Environmental Assessment 

On December 31, 2020, as 

supplemented on July 22, 2021, Central 

Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation 

District (Central) filed a non-capacity 

amendment of license application 

requesting Commission approval to 

modify the project boundary for the 

Kingsley Dam Project. Central’s request 

is based on its analysis of the existing 

lands and shorelines around project 

reservoirs to determine their need for 

project operation and other project 

purposes, including public access for 

recreation. The proposed boundary 

modification would add approximately 

3,400 acres and remove approximately 

900 acres, resulting in a net increase of 

2,500 acres of additional lands to be 

included within the project boundary. 

The project is located on the North 

Platte and Platte Rivers in Garden, 

Keith, Lincoln, Dawson, and Gosper 

counties, in south-central Nebraska. 

The Commission issued a public 

notice of the amendment application on 

February 9, 2021, with protests, 

comments, and motions to intervene 

due to be filed by March 11, 2021. 

Several individuals filed comment 

letters and motions to intervene in 

opposition to Central’s proposal. In 

general, these individuals express 

concerns about private property rights, 

increased restrictions on private uses, 

shoreline erosion and control, and/or 

Central’s proposed flood surcharge 

determination. 

This notice identifies Commission 

staff’s intention to prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

project. The planned schedule for the 

completion of the EA is July 2024.1

Revisions to the schedule may be made 

as appropriate. The EA will be issued 

and made available for review by all 

interested parties. All comments filed 

on the EA will be reviewed by staff and 

considered in the Commission’s final 

decision on the proceeding. 

With this notice, the Commission is 

inviting Federal, State, local, and Tribal 

agencies with jurisdiction and/or 

special expertise with respect to 

environmental issues affected by the 

proposal to cooperate in the preparation 

of the EA planned to be issued July 

2024. Agencies wishing to cooperate, or 

further discuss the benefits, 

responsibilities, and obligations of the 

cooperating agency role, should contact 

staff listed at the bottom of this notice 

by February 15, 2024. Cooperating 

agencies should note the Commission’s 

policy that agencies that cooperate in 

the preparation of any environmental 

document cannot also intervene. See 94 

FERC ¶ 61,076 (2001).

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful
