DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 1773-042]

Moon Lake Electric Association, Inc.; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

    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, Commission 
staff reviewed Moon Lake Electric Association, Inc.'s application to 
surrender the project license of the Yellowstone Hydroelectric Project 
No. 1773 and have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). The 
licensee proposes to surrender the license for the project and 
decommission the project facilities, which includes removing the 
project dam, abutments, and penstock. The licensee would also restore 
the reach of the Yellowstone River affected by the dam and reservoir by 
using sediments to rebuild the channel, and reclaim upland areas 
disturbed. The project is located on the Yellowstone River in Duchesne 
County, Utah, within the Ashley National Forest, administered by the 
U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service, and within the Uintah 
and Ouray Reservations.
    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the proposed surrender of the project license, 
and concludes that, with appropriate environmental protective measures, 
it would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly 
affect the quality of the human environment.
    The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity 
to view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's 
Home Page (http://www.ferc.gov) using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the 
docket number, excluding the last three digits in the docket number
