FFP Missouri 5, LLC; FFP Missouri 6, LLC; Solia 6 Hydroelectric, 
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 Part 380, Office of Energy 
Projects staff has reviewed applications for original licenses for the 
Emsworth Locks and Dam Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 13757-002), 
Emsworth Back Channel Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 13761-002), and 
Montgomery Locks and Dam Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 13768-002) on 
the Ohio River. These projects are referred to collectively as the Ohio 
River Projects.
    The projects would all be located at existing locks and dams owned 
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Emsworth Locks and Dam 
Hydroelectric Project would be located on the Ohio River near Emsworth, 
Pennsylvania, in Allegheny County at river mile (RM) 6.2. The Emsworth 
Back Channel Hydroelectric Project would be located on the Ohio River 
near Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, in Allegheny County at RM 6.8. The 
Montgomery Locks and Dam Hydroelectric Project would be located on the 
Ohio River downstream of Monaca, Pennsylvania, in Beaver County at RM 
31.7. The projects would collectively occupy 17.1 acres of federal 
land.
    Staff has prepared a multi-project environmental assessment (EA) 
that analyzes the potential environmental effects of the three projects 
and concludes that constructing and operating 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 
www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number, 
excluding the last three digits, in the docket number field to access 
the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at

    You may also register online at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp to be notified via email of new filings and issuances

notice. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please
