[Project No. 13213-003; Project No. 13214-003]


Lock 14 Hydro Partners, LLC and Lock 12 Hydro Partners, LLC; 
Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

    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, the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the applications for original licenses 
for the Heidelberg Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 13213-003) 
and Ravenna Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 13214-003). The 
proposed projects would be located on the Kentucky River in Kentucky. 
The Heidelberg Project would be located at the Kentucky River 
Authority's Lock and Dam No. 14, near the Town of Heidelberg, Lee 
County, Kentucky. The Ravenna Project would be located at the Kentucky 
River Authority's Lock and Dam No. 12, near the Town of Ravenna, Estill 
County, Kentucky. No lands managed by the Federal government are 
located within the project boundary of either project.
    Staff prepared a multi-project environmental assessment (EA), which 
analyzes the potential environmental effects of licensing both 
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
