DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 12611-005]


Verdant Power, LLC; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed Verdant Power, LLC's application for a 
10-year pilot project license for the Roosevelt Island Tidal Energy 
Project (FERC Project No. 12611-005), which would be located on the 
East River in New York County, New York.
    Staff have prepared an environmental assessment (EA), which 
analyzes the potential environmental effects of licensing the project 
and concludes that licensing the project, with appropriate 
environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major Federal 
action that would significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment.
    A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may 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
