 [Project No. 1417-198]


Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District; Notice of 
Availability of Environmental Assessment

July 8, 2008.
    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 FR 47879) the Office of Energy Projects has 
prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for an application filed by 
Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District (licensee) on 
February 12, 2007, requesting Commission approval to amend the Land and 
Shoreline Management Plan (LSMP) for the Kingsley Dam Hydroelectric 
Project (FERC No. 1417). The licensee proposes to reclassify certain 
shoreline lands at Plum Creek reservoir (reservoir) from open-space to 
residential in order to allow adjacent landowners to apply for 
shoreline access facilities. The reservoir is located within the Platte 
River Basin in Dawson and Gosper Counties, near the towns of Lexington 
and Elwood, Nebraska. The project does not occupy any federal lands. 
The EA evaluates the environmental impacts that would result from 
approving the licensee's proposal. The EA finds that approval of the 
application 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 (P-1417) excluding the last three digits in the docket 
number field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC
