DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 13160-004]


Red River Hydro LLC; Notice of Availability of Draft 
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 FR 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed Red River 
Hydro LLC's application for an original license for the Overton Lock 
and Dam Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 13160-004) and has 
prepared a draft environmental assessment (draft EA). The project would 
be located on the Red River in Rapides Parish, Louisiana, at an

existing lock and dam operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The 
project, if licensed, would occupy a total of 38.7 acres of federal 
land.
    In the draft 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 draft 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
