[Project No. 362-004]


Ford Motor Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

September 16, 2004.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and Part 380 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380, FERC Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897, the 
Office of Energy Projects Staff (staff) reviewed the application for a 
new license for the Ford Hydroelectric Project, located on the 
Mississippi River in the city of St. Paul in Ramsey County, Minnesota, 
and prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the project. The 
project uses a Federal dam and occupies 11.2 acres of Federal lands.
    In this EA, the staff analyzes the potential environmental effects 
of the existing project and concludes that licensing the project, with 
staff's recommended measures, would not constitute a major Federal 
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA and application is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room, or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link.

addressed to Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Please refer
