Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2561-057]


Sho-Me Power Electric Cooperative; 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 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed Sho-Me Power 
Electric Cooperative's (Sho-Me) application for surrender of license 
for the Niangua Hydroelectric Project No. 2561 and have prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed surrender. The licensee 
proposes to leave the facilities in place, including the project dam, 
power tunnel, powerhouse, and associated facilities. The power canal 
would be drained and sealed at both ends and the project would be 
disconnected from the power grid. No ground disturbing activities are 
proposed with surrender of the project license. The project is located 
on the Niangua River in Camden County, Missouri.
    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of surrendering the license and concludes that 
the proposed surrender, with appropriate environmental protective 
measures, would not constitute a major Federal action that would 
significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
    The EA may be viewed on the Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``elibrary'' link. Enter the docket number (P-
2561) in the docket number field to access the document. For
