2020-07376. Nebraska Public Power District; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for non-capacity license amendment for the North Platte/Keystone Diversion Dam Hydroelectric Project, located on the North/South Platte Rivers in Lincoln and Keith counties, Nebraska, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). In the EA, Commission staff analyzes the potential environmental effects of the proposed license amendment and concludes that issuing an order approving the proposal, with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
