DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Project No. 7481–068]

NYSD Limited Partnership; Notice of

Availability of Environmental

Assessment

April 27, 2001.

In accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s (Commission’s)

regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No.

486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy

Projects has prepared an Environmental

Assessment (EA) for the New York State

Dam Project. The EA examines the

environmental impacts of four

alternatives for providing downstream

fish passage at the project for adult

blueback herring.

In the EA, the Commission’s staff has

reviewed the comments on its June 14,

1996 Draft Environmental Assessment.

In summary, the EA evaluates four

alternatives for operation of the project’s

existing fish bypass for adult blueback

herring: (1) licensee’s alternative; (2)

resource agency alternative; (3) staff

alternative; and (4) no-action. The EA

recommends the licensee operate its fish

bypass for adult blueback herring in

accordance with the staff alternative.

The EA concludes that implementation

of this alternative would not constitute

a major federal action significantly

affecting the quality of the human

environment.

Copies of the EA are available for

review in the Public Reference and Files

Maintenance Branch, Room 2A of the

Commission’s offices at 888 First Street,

NE., Washington, DC 20426. A copy is

also available for inspection and

reproduction at the addresses in item g

above. This filing may also be viewed
