[Project No. 10853-022]

Otter Tail Power Company; 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 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for a new license for the Otter Tail River 
Hydroelectric Project, which consists of five developments on the Otter 
Tail River that begins in the Township of Friberg, Minnesota and 
extends downstream (south) of the City of Fergus Falls in Otter Tail 
County, Minnesota. The project does not occupy federal land.
    The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
effects of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with 
appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major 
federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment.
    The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity 
to view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's 
Home Page (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. At this time, the Commission has 
suspended access to the Commission's Public Reference Room, due to the 
proclamation declaring a National Emergency concerning the Novel 
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), issued by the President on March 13, 
2020. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
