DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 11175-025]

Crown Hydro, LLC; Minnesota Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 380 (Order No. 
486,52 Federal Register [FR] 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed Crown Hydro, LLC's application for an amendment to original 
license for the Crown Mill Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 
11175), that would be located on the Mississippi River at the U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers' (Corps') lock facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
    Staff prepared a draft environmental assessment (EA), which 
analyzes the potential environmental effects of amending the license 
for the project, and concludes that the amended license, 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. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access
