plan for the Smith Mountain Pumped Storage Project, FERC No. 2210. This 
project is located on the Roanoke River, in Bedford, Pittsylvania, 
Franklin, and Campbell Counties, Virginia.

impacts of the proposal and concludes that approval of the proposal 
would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.

Modifying and Approving Shoreline Management Plan'' issued on July 5, 
2005 (See 112 FERC ] 61,026) 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.
