BOST5 Hydroelectric LLC..........  Project No. 12758-004
BOST4 Hydroelectric LLC..........  Project No. 12757-004
BOST3 Hydroelectric LLC..........  Project No. 12756-003
 

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (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 the applications for original licenses for the Red River Lock 
and Dam No. 5 Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 12758-004), Red 
River Lock and Dam No. 4 Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 12757-
004), and Red River Lock and Dam No. 3 Hydroelectric Project (FERC 
Project No. 12756-003). The proposed projects would be located on the 
Red River in Louisiana. The Lock and Dam No. 5 Project would be located 
in Bossier Parish, near the Town of Ninock, Louisiana, at the U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Lock and Dam No. 5 at river mile (RM) 200 
and would occupy 69.9 acres of federal lands managed by the Corps. The 
Lock and Dam No. 4 Project would be located in Red River Parish, near 
the Town of Coushatta, Louisiana, at the Corps' Lock and Dam No. 4 at 
RM 168.5 and would occupy 135.1 acres of federal lands managed by the 
Corps. The Lock and Dam No. 3 Project would be located in Natchitoches 
Parish, near the Town of Colfax, Louisiana, at the Corps' Lock and Dam 
No. 3 at RM 116.5 and would occupy 60.2 acres of federal lands managed 
by the Corps.
    Staff prepared a multi-project environmental assessment (EA), which 
analyzes the potential environmental effects of licensing the three 
projects, and concludes that licensing the projects, with appropriate 
environmental protection 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
