DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 14513-003]

Idaho Irrigation District; New Sweden Irrigation District; Notice 
of Availability of Draft 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 original license for the County Line Road 
Hydroelectric Project, located on the Snake River in Bonneville and 
Jefferson Counties, Idaho, and has prepared a Draft Environmental 
Assessment (DEA) for the project. No federal land would be occupied by 
project works or located within the proposed project boundary.
    The DEA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with 
appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a 
major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the 
human environment.
    The number of pages in the DEA exceeds the page limits set forth in 
the Council on Environmental Quality's July 16, 2020 final rule, Update 
to the Regulations Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the 
National Environmental Policy Act (85 FR 43304). Noting the scope and 
complexity of the proposed action and action alternatives, the Director 
of the Office of Energy Projects, as our senior agency official, has 
authorized this page limit exceedance for the DEA.
    The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity 
to view and/or print the DEA 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
