York Haven Power Company, Exelon Generation Company; Notice of 
Availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the 
Susquehanna River Hydroelectric Projects

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) 
regulations contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (18 CFR 
part 380), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the applications 
for license for the York Haven Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 1888), 
the Muddy Run Pumped Storage Project (FERC No. 2355), and the Conowingo 
Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 405) and prepared a final multi-project 
environmental impact statement (EIS).
    The existing York Haven Project is located on the Susquehanna River 
at river mile (RM) 55 in the city of York, in York, Dauphin, and 
Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania. The project does not occupy any 
federal lands. The Muddy Run and Conowingo Projects are located on the 
Susquehanna River at RM 22 and RM 10, respectively, in Lancaster and 
York Counties, Pennsylvania, and Cecil and Harford Counties, Maryland. 
Conowingo Pond, the reservoir for the Conowingo Project, acts as the 
lower reservoir for the Muddy Run Project. The Muddy Run Project also 
includes an upper reservoir for pumped storage operation. The projects 
do not occupy any federal lands.
    The final EIS contains staff's analysis of the applicants' 
proposals and the alternatives for relicensing the York Haven, Muddy 
Run, and Conowingo Projects. The final EIS documents the views of 
governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, affected Indian 
tribes, the public, the license applicants, and Commission staff.
    A copy of the final EIS is available for review at the Commission 
or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov,
