DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

 [Project No. 12775-001]

City of Spearfish, SD; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

November 8, 2010.
    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 (Order No. 
486, 52 Federal Register (FR) 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the city of Spearfish's application for license for the 
Spearfish Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 12775-001), located 
on Spearfish Creek near the city of Spearfish, in Lawrence County, 
South Dakota. The existing, but unlicensed project occupies a total of 
57.26 acres of federal lands within the Black Hills National Forest 
managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
    Staff prepared a final environmental assessment (EA), which 
analyzes the potential environmental effects of licensing the project, 
and concludes that licensing 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 Web site 
at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to
