[Project No. 2685-029]


Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment: New 
York Power Authority

    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 a new license for the Blenheim-Gilboa 
Pumped Storage Project, located on Schoharie Creek, in the Towns of 
Blenheim and Gilboa in Schoharie County, New York, and has prepared a 
draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project.
    The draft EA contains staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the 
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 draft EA is available for review at the Commission in 
the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website 
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 
the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
