[Project No. 2206-021]


Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc.; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

December 13, 2004.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the staff of 
the Office of Energy Projects' has prepared a Final Environmental 
Assessment (FEA) for Progress Energy Carolina Inc.'s application for 
amendment of license. On December 28, 2001, Progress Energy Carolinas, 
Inc., licensee for the Tillery Development of the Yadkin-Pee Dee River 
Project, FERC No. 2206, filed a shoreline management plan (SMP) as 
required in the September 20, 1999, order amending the license. The SMP 
is for the Tillery Development, which is located on the Yadkin-Pee Dee 
River in Montgomery and Stanly Counties, North Carolina.
    The FEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of implementing the SMP and concludes that 
approval of the plan would not constitute a major federal action 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the FEA is attached to an order titled ``Order Modifying 
and Approving Shoreline Management Plan'' issued on November 24, 2004, 
which is available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference 
Room, or it may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number 
(prefaced by P-) and excluding the last three digits, in the docket 
number field to access the document. For assistance, please contact 
FERC Online Support at [email protected] or toll-free (866) 
208-3676, or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
