Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 6299-014]


Dakota County, Minnesota; 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 license for the Lake Byllesby 
Hydroelectric Project, located on the Cannon River in Dakota and 
Goodhue counties, Minnesota, and has prepared an Environmental 
Assessment (EA) for the project. The project does not occupy any 
federal lands.
    The EA contains the 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.
    In addition to publishing the full text of this notice in the 
Federal Register, the Commission provides all interested persons an 
opportunity to view and/or print the contents of this notice, as well 
as other documents in the proceeding (e.g., amendment application and 
EA) via the internet through the Commission's Home Page (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 (P-6299). At this time, the Commission has suspended 
access to the Commission's Public Reference Room due to the 
proclamation declaring a National Emergency concerning the Novel 
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) issued by the President on March 13, 
2020. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
