Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 380, the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for original license 
for the Kentucky River Lock and Dam No. 11 Hydroelectric Project (FERC 
Project No. 14276-002). The proposed project would be located on the 
Kentucky River in Estill and Madison Counties, Kentucky, at the 
existing Kentucky River Lock and Dam No. 11 which is owned by the 
Commonwealth of Kentucky and operated by the Kentucky River Authority. 
The project would not occupy federal land.
    Staff prepared an environmental assessment (EA), which analyzes the 
potential environmental effects of licensing the project, and concludes 
that licensing the project, with appropriate environmental protection 
measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would 
significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the 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
