Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 11563–057] 

Northern California Power Agency; 

Notice of Availability of Final 

Environmental Assessment 

August 31, 2010. 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended, and the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission’s regulations, 

18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 

47879), the Commission has reviewed 

an application filed by the Northern 

California Power Agency (licensee) on 

May 26, 2010, and supplemented on 

July 11 and August 9, 2010, requesting 

Commission approval to temporarily 

amend the license for the Upper Utica 

Project, FERC No. 11563. The licensee 

seeks Commission approval to partially 

draw down Lake Alpine and deviate 

from the minimum reservoir surface 

elevation and minimum water volume 

requirements of the project license in 

order to facilitate repairs to the lowlevel outlet works. The Environmental 

Assessment (EA) analyzes the 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

activities and concludes that approval of 

the application, with appropriate 

environmental measures, would not 

constitute a major federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. The project is 

located on Silver Creek and the North 

Fork Stanislaus River, in Tuolumne and 

Alpine Counties, California. 

The EA was written by staff in the 

Office of Energy Projects, Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission. A copy 

of the EA is attached to a Commission 

order titled ‘‘Order Approving 

Temporary License Amendment,’’ 

issued August 31, 2010, and is on file 

with the Commission and is available 

for public inspection. The EA may also 

be viewed on the Commission’s Web 

site at http://www.ferc.gov using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link. Enter the docket number

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 1267–089] 

Greenwood County, SC; Notice of 

Availability of Environmental 

Assessment 

September 1, 2010. 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR part 

380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the 

Office of Energy Projects has prepared 

an environmental assessment (EA) for 

an application filed by Greenwood 

County, South Carolina (licensee) on 

January 26, 2010, requesting 

Commission approval to amend article 

407 of its project license for the 

Buzzards Roost Hydroelectric Project 

(FERC No. 1267). The licensee requests 

permission to revise the schedule for 

management of lake levels (rule curve) 

to maintain the lake at the summer level 

until November 1 in order to facilitate 

late-season recreation. The licensee also 

proposes to maintain the lake at its 

annual low from January 15 until 

February 1 of each year in order to 

provide a period for adjacent 

landowners to work on permitted 

encroachments. The licensee states that 

it would vary from article 407 to 

perform necessary maintenances, safely 

manage flood flows, during operating 

emergencies, and to meet minimum 

flow requirements under article 408. 

The project is located on the Saluda 

River in Greenwood, Laurens, and 

Newberry Counties, South Carolina. The 

project does not occupy any federal 

lands. 

The EA evaluates the environmental 

impacts that would result from 

approving the licensee’s proposal to 

amend article 407 of the project license. 

The EA finds that approval of the 

application would not constitute a 

major federal action significantly 

affecting the quality of the human 

environment. 

A copy of the EA is attached to a 

Commission Order titled ‘‘Order 

Amending License,’’ issued August 31, 

2010, and is on file with the 

Commission and is available for public 

inspection. The EA may also be viewed 

on the Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.

Green Island Power Authority; Notice 

of Availability of Draft Environmental 

Assessment 

August 31, 2010. 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR part 

380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the 

Office of Energy Projects has reviewed 

the application for a new license for the 

6.0-megawatt Green Island 

Hydroelectric Project, located on the 

Hudson River, in Albany County, New 

York, and has prepared a Draft 

Environmental Assessment (DEA). In 

the DEA, Commission staff analyzes the 

potential environmental effects of 

relicensing the project and conclude 

that issuing a new license for the 

project, with appropriate environmental 

measures, would not constitute a major 

federal action significantly affecting the 

quality of the human environment. 

A copy of the DEA is on file with the 

Commission and is available for public 

inspection. The DEA may also be 

viewed on the Commission’s Web site at 

http://www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ 

link. Enter the docket number excluding

Lockhart Power Company—South 

Carolina Pacolet Hydroelectric Project; 

Notice of Proposed Restricted Service 

List for a Programmatic Agreement for 

Managing Properties Included in or 

Eligible for Inclusion in the National 

Register of Historic Places 

August 30, 2010. 

Rule 2010 of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission’s (Commission) 

Rules of Practice and Procedure 

provides that, to eliminate unnecessary 

expense or improve administrative 

efficiency, the Secretary may establish a 

restricted service list for a particular 

phase or issue in a proceeding.1 The 

restricted service list should contain the 

names of persons on the service list 

who, in the judgment of the decisional 

authority establishing the list, are active 

participants with respect to the phase or 

issue in the proceeding for which the 

list is established. 

The Commission staff is consulting 

with the South Carolina State Historic 

Preservation Officer (hereinafter, South 

Carolina SHPO), and the Advisory 

Council on Historic Preservation 

(hereinafter, Council) pursuant to the 

Council’s regulations, 36 CFR part 800, 

implementing section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act, as 

amended, (16 U.S.C. section 470 f), to 

prepare and execute a programmatic 

agreement for managing properties 

included in, or eligible for inclusion in, 

the National Register of Historic Places 

at the Pacolet Hydroelectric Project Nos. 

2621 and 12770. 

The programmatic agreement, when 

executed by the Commission and the 

South Carolina SHPO would satisfy the 

Commission’s section 106 

responsibilities for all individual 

undertakings carried out in accordance 

with the license until the license expires 

or is terminated (36 CFR 800.13[e]). The 

Commission’s responsibilities pursuant 

to section 106 for the Pacolet 

Hydroelectric Project would be fulfilled 

through the programmatic agreement, 

which the Commission proposes to draft 

in consultation with certain parties 

listed below. The executed 

programmatic agreement would be 

incorporated into any Order issuing a 

license. 

Lockhart Power Company, as licensee 

for Pacolet Hydroelectric Project Nos. 

2621 and 12770, and the Eastern Band 

of Cherokee Indians have expressed an 

interest in this preceding and are 

invited to participate in consultations to 

develop the programmatic agreement. 

For purposes of commenting on the 

programmatic agreement, we propose to 

restrict the service list for the 

aforementioned project as follows:

Council on Historic Preservation, The

10, 420 River Street, Lockhart, SC 

29364. 

Any person on the official service list 

for the above-captioned proceeding may 

request inclusion on the restricted 

service list, or may request that a 

restricted service list not be established, 

by filing a motion to that effect within 

15 days of this notice date. In a request 

for inclusion, please identify the 

reason(s) why there is an interest to be 

included. Also please identify any 

concerns about historic properties, 

including Traditional Cultural 

Properties. If historic properties are to 

be identified within the motion, please 

use a separate page, and label it NONPUBLIC Information. 

Any such motions may be filed
