Warm Springs Hydro, LLC; 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 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for license for the Rock Creek Hydroelectric 
Project (project)

[[Page 42854]]

and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). The project is 
located on Rock Creek near the City of Haines in Baker County, Oregon, 
and occupies federal lands administered by the Forest Service.
    In the EA, Commission staff analyzes the potential environmental 
effects of the project and concludes that issuing a license for the 
project, with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute 
a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    The Commission provides all interested persons 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 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
