 Department of Energy Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 3511-024]
 On May 29, 2020, Enel Green Power North America, Inc.[1]
                    
                     filed an application on behalf of Lower Saranac Hydro, LLC (Lower Saranac), for a subsequent minor license for the 1.76-megawatt Groveville Hydroelectric Project (Groveville Project or project) (FERC No. 3511). The Groveville Project is located on Fishkill Creek, in the City of Beacon, Dutchess County, New York. The project is located approximately 2.7 river miles upstream of the mouth of Fishkill Creek. The project does not occupy federal land. In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on May 11, 2021, 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. Therefore, staff intends to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) on the application to license the Groveville 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 application will be processed according to the following schedule. Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate. Milestone
