[Project No. 6641-067]

 
American Municipal Power--Ohio, Inc., City of Marion, Kentucky 
and Smithland Hydroelectric Partners; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

March 27, 2007.
    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 [FERC Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897]), the Office of Energy 
Projects staff (staff) reviewed a proposal to amend the design 
authorized by the license for the Smithland Hydroelectric Project, to 
be located the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Smithland Locks and Dam on 
the Ohio River in Livingston County, Kentucky, and prepared an 
environmental assessment (EA) for the proposed amendment of the project 
license. In this EA, staff analyzes the potential environmental effects 
of replacing the authorized 170 small generator units with three 
conventional turbine and generator units and concludes that the 
amendment would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order 
Amending License'', issued March 22, 2007 and is available for review 
at the Commission in the Public Reference
