          - [Project No. 12775-001]

                    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC) regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 380 (Order No. 486, 52                     **Federal Register**                     (FR) 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the city of Spearfish's application for license for the Spearfish                           ( print page 28604)                        Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 12775-001), located on Spearfish Creek near the city of Spearfish, in Lawrence County, South Dakota. The existing, but unlicensed project occupies a total of 57.26 acres of federal lands within the Black Hills National Forest managed by the U.S. Forest Service.                

Staff prepared a draft environmental assessment (EA), which analyzes the potential environmental effects of licensing 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 draft EA is available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at                     *www.ferc.gov*                     using the “eLibrary” link.
