[Project No. 13642-003]


GB Energy Park, 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) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for an original license for the proposed 400-
megawatt Gordon Butte Pumped Storage Project, which would be located 
approximately 3 miles west of the town of Martinsdale in Meagher 
County, Montana, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for 
the project. The project would not occupy any federal lands.
    The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of construction and operation of the project and concludes that 
licensing the project, with appropriate environmental measures, would 
not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect 
the quality of the human environment. Based on a review of the comments 
received in response to the issuance of this EA, the Commission may 
issue a final EA.
    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 
access documents. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at 
[email protected], (866) 208-3676 (toll free), or (202) 502-
8659 (TTY).
