DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 6641-046-Kentucky]
 
City of Marion, Kentucky, Smithland Hydroelectric Partners; 
Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

September 20, 2002.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations (18 CFR part 380), Commission staff have reviewed an 
application for a non-capacity related license amendment at the 
Smithland Project (FERC No. 6641), and have prepared an Environmental 
Assessment (EA) on the application. The project is located on the Ohio 
River in Livingston County, Kentucky.
    Specifically, the project licensees (City of Marion, Kentucky and 
Smithland Hydroelectric Partners) have requested Commission approval to 
amend the present license by changing the location of the transmission 
line. In the EA, Commission staff have analyzed the probable 
environmental effects of the proposed transmission line construction 
and have concluded that approval of the proposal, with appropriate 
environmental measures, would not constitute a major Federal action 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in Public Reference Room 
2-A of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, 
DC. The EA also may be viewed on the Commission's Internet website 
(www.ferc.gov) Exit Disclaimer using the ``FERRIS'' link. Additional 
information about the project is available from the Commission's Office 
of External Affairs, at (202) 502-6088 or on the Commission's website 
using the FERRIS link. Click on the FERRIS link, enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the Docket Number field. Be sure you 
have selected an appropriate date range. For assistance with FERRIS, 
the FERRIS helpline can be reached at (202) 502-8222, TTY (202) 502-
8659. The FERRIS link on the FERC's Internet website also provides 
access to the texts of formal documents issued by the Commission, such 
as orders, notices, and rulemakings.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
