Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment

August 1, 2008.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR Part
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879) the Office of Energy Projects has
prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for an application filed by
Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (licensee) on August 29, 2007, requesting
Commission approval of a non-project use of project lands. The licensee
has requested Commission authorization to lease to Long Island Marina,
Inc. (Long Island) 3.239 acres of project lands for a commercial marina
at the existing, previously approved Long Island Marina on Lake Norman
in Catawba County, North Carolina. Long Island proposes to re-configure
and upgrade the marina. Dredging of 1700 cubic yards of lake-bed would
be required for this reconfiguration. The marina would serve the
general public and the residents of Long Island Resorts.
    The EA evaluates the environmental impacts that would result from
approving the licensee's proposal to grant Long Island permission to
expand and reconfigure its marina facilities. The EA finds that
approval of the application would not constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting 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 http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the
docket number (P-2232) excluding the last three digits in the docket
number field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC
Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll-free at 1-866-208-
3372, or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any comments should be filed by September 2, 2008, and should be
addressed to the Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE., Room 1-A, Washington, DC 20426. Please reference the
project name and project number (P-2232) on all comments. Comments may
be filed electronically via Internet in lieu of paper. The Commission
strongly encourages electronic filings.
