City of Wadsworth, Ohio; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

January 23, 2015.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 380 (Order No. 
486, 52 Federal Register [FR] 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for a major original license for the 50-
megawatt Robert C. Byrd Hydroelectric Project (RC

[[Page 5104]]

Byrd Project or project), located on the Ohio River at the U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Robert C. Byrd Locks and Dam (RC Byrd Locks 
and Dam), approximately 12.7 miles south of the confluence of the Ohio 
River and the Kanawha River, 9 miles south of the Town of Gallipolis, 
Gallia County, Ohio, and prepared a Final Environmental Assessment 
(FEA) for the project. The proposed project would occupy 7.6 acres of 
federal land administered by the Corps.
    The FEA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the proposed project and concludes that licensing the 
proposed 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 FEA 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
