          - [Project No. 12429-001—Montana]

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC) regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed Clark Canyon Hydro, LLC's application for license for the proposed Clark Canyon Dam Hydroelectric Project, located at Clark Canyon reservoir on the Beaverhead River near the city of Dillon, Beaverhead County, Montana, and has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the project. The proposed project would occupy a total of 1.15 acres of Federal lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.

The EA 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.

                    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 Web site 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.
