[Project No. 2685-029]

New York Power Authority; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for a new license for the Blenheim-Gilboa 
Pumped Storage Project, located on Schoharie Creek, in

[[Page 6141]]

the Towns of Blenheim and Gilboa in Schoharie County, New York, and has 
prepared a final Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project.
    The final EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the project, and concludes that relicensing 
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 final EA is available for review at the Commission in 
the Public Reference Room, or may be viewed on the Commission's website 
at http://www.ferc.gov, using the eLibrary link. Enter the docket
