DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 13011-003]


Shelbyville Hydro 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) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 380 (Order No. 
486, 52 Federal Register 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed Shelbyville Hydro LLC's application for an original license 
for the proposed Lake Shelbyville Dam Hydroelectric Project (FERC 
Project No. 13011-003) and has prepared an environmental assessment 
(EA). The project would be located on the Kaskaskia River in Shelby 
County, Illinois, at an existing dam operated by the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers. The proposed project, if licensed, would occupy a total of 
3.24 acres of federal land.
    In the EA, Commission staff 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 
www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access
