    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969

reviewed an application for non-project use of project lands and waters 
and has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for public review. 
The licensees seek Commission approval to permit use of the Conowingo 
Hydroelectric Project, FERC No. 405, reservoir and lands to withdraw 
and discharge water. The EA analyzes the environmental impacts of the

Non-Project Use of Project Lands and Waters'' issued August 8, 2006 and
