Santee Cooper Hydroelectric Project; Notice of Availability of 
the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Santee Cooper 
Hydroelectric Project

October 26, 2007.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) 
regulations contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)(18 CFR 
part 380 [FERC Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897]), the Office of Energy 
Projects staff (staff) reviewed the application for a New Major License 
for the Santee Cooper Hydroelectric Project, and have prepared a final 
environmental impact statement (FEIS) for the project which is located 
on the Santee and Cooper Rivers in Berkeley, Calhoun, Clarendon, 
Orangeburg, and Sumpter Counties, South Carolina.
    The FEIS contains staff's analysis of the applicant's proposal and 
the alternatives for relicensing the Santee Cooper Hydroelectric 
Project. The FEIS documents the views of governmental agencies, non-
governmental organizations, affected Indian tribes, the public, the 
license applicant, and Commission staff.
    The FEIS will be part of the record from which the Commission will 
make its decision.
    A copy of the FEIS is available for review at the Commission's 
Public Reference Room (Room 2A, located at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426) or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at
