[Project No. 12588-000]


Hydraco Power, Inc.; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

April 18, 2006.
    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 F.R. 47879), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for exemption from licensing for the A.H. 
Smith Dam Project. Staff prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for 
the project, which is located on the San Marcos River near the town of 
Martindale, Caldwell County, Texas. In the EA, Commission staff 
analyzed the potential environmental impacts of the project and 
concluded that exempting the project from licensing, with appropriate 
environmental measures, 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 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 1-866-208-3676, 
or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the issuance date 
of this notice, and should be addressed to the Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Room 1-A, 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``A.H. Smith Dam Project No. 12588'' 
to all comments. Comments may be filed electronically via Internet in 
lieu of paper. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings. 
See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's 
Web site under the ``eFiling'' link. For further information, contact
