[Project No. 14368-000--CO]

Catamount Metropolitan District; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR Part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for a small hydropower project exemption for 
the Catamount Hydroelectric Project, to be located at the existing 
Catamount dam and Lake Catamount in Routt County, near the City of 
Steamboat Springs, in the state of Colorado, and has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA). In the EA, Commission staff analyzed the 
potential environmental effects of the proposed project and concludes 
that issuing an exemption 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.
