[Project No. P-12796-004-OH]

City of Wadsworth, Ohio; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
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 application for a major original license for the 50-
megawatt Robert C. Byrd Hydroelectric Project, (RC Byrd Project or 
project), located on the Ohio River at the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers' (Corps) Robert C. Byrd Locks and Dam (RC Byrd Locks and 
Dam), approximately 12.7 miles south of the confluence of the Ohio 
River and the Kanawha River, 9 miles south of the Town of Gallipolis, 
Gallia County, Ohio, and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment 
(DEA) for the project. The proposed project would occupy 7.6 acres of 
federal land administered by the Corps.
    The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of the proposed project and concludes that 
licensing the proposed 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 DEA 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
