DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2309-019]


Jersey Central Power and Light Company, PSEG Fossil, LLC; Notice 
of Availability of Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part 
380, the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a 
new license for the 364.5-megawatt (MW) Yards Creek Pumped Storage 
Hydroelectric Project located on Yards Creek, in the townships of 
Hardwick and Blairstown, Warren County, New Jersey and has prepared an 
environmental assessment (EA). In the EA, Commission staff analyzes the 
potential environmental effects of licensing the project and conclude 
that issuing a license for the project, 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 (866) 208-3676, 
or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    You may also register online at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp to be notified via email of new filings and issuances 
related to this or other pending projects. For assistance, contact FERC 
Online Support.
    Comments on the EA 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 ``Yards Creek Pumped Storage 
Hydroelectric Project No. 2309-019'' to all comments. Comments may be

seven copies to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426. For further
