DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 906-006]

 
Virginia Electric & Power Company; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

August 23, 2007.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new license for 
the Cushaw Hydroelectric Project, located on the James River, near the 
Town of Glasgow, Virginia, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment 
(EA). In the EA, Commission staff, analyze potential environmental 
effects of relicensing the project and conclude 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 EA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The EA may also 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 access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online 
Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll-free at 1-866-208-3676, 
or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the issuance date 
of this notice, and should be addressed to the Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Room 1-A, 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Cushaw Project No. 906-006'' to 
all comments. Comments may be filed electronically via Internet in lieu 
of paper. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site under the ``eFiling'' link. For further information, contact 
Kristen Murphy at (202) 502-6236.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
