SAF Hydroelectric Company, LLC; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

April 6, 2005.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (FERC Order No. 486 and 52 FR 47,897) the 
Office of Energy Projects Staff (staff) reviewed the application for an 
original license for the Lower St. Anthony Falls Hydroelectric Project, 
located on the Mississippi River in the city of Minneapolis in Hennepin 
County, Minnesota, and prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for 
the project. The project would occupy 2.26 acres of Federal lands owned 
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps).
    In this EA, the staff analyzes the potential environmental effects 
of the proposed 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 ``e-Library'' 
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the 
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, contact 
FERC Online Support at [email protected] or toll-free at 1-

    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426. Please affix ``Lower St. Anthony Falls Project, P-12451'' to all 
comments. For further information, please contact Monte TerHaar at
