August 9, 2006.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part

reviewed an application for non-project use of project lands and waters 
and has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for public review. 
The licensees seek Commission approval to permit use of the Conowingo 
Hydroelectric Project, FERC No. 405, reservoir and lands to withdraw 
and discharge water. The EA analyzes the environmental impacts of the 
proposed water withdrawal and discharge. The project is located on the 
Susquehanna River in Hartford and Cecil Counties in Maryland, and York 
and Lancaster Counties in Pennsylvania.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Energy Projects,

attached to a Commission order titled ``Order Modifying and Approving 
Non-Project Use of Project Lands and Waters'' issued August 8, 2006 and
