[Project No. 2203-015-AL]

Alabama Power Company; 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 Alabama Power Company's application for 
a new license for the 46.9-megawatt (MW) Holt Hydroelectric Project 
(FERC Project No. 2203). The project is located at the U.S. Army Corps 
of Engineers' (Corps) Holt Lock and Dam on the Black Warrior River near 
the City of Tuscaloosa, in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. The project 
occupies 36.81 acres of federal land administered by the Corps.
    Staff has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) that analyzes 
the potential environmental effects of continued project operation. 
Based on staff's analysis with appropriate environmental protective 
measures, relicensing the project would not constitute a major federal 
action that would significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment.
    A copy of the EA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's 
Web site at www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to
