DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 1256-031]

Loup River Public Power District; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) regulations, 
18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 Fed. Reg. 47897), the Office of 
Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new license for the 
Loup River Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 1256), located on 
the Loup River in Nance and Platte counties, Nebraska, and prepared a 
draft environmental assessment (EA).
    In the draft EA, Commission staff analyzes the potential 
environmental effects of licensing the project, and concludes 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 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
