and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's)

Project, located in Talladega County, Alabama, and has prepared a draft 
and, subsequently, a

final Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed action.
    In the final EA, the Commission's staff analyzed the potential 
environmental impacts of The Utilities Board of the City of Sylacauga, 
Alabama (Board) constructing and operating a raw water intake and 
pumping station on Lay Reservoir. The staff concluded that, given the 
mitigative measures proposed by the Board, approval of the action would 
not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA can be viewed at 
the Commission's Public Reference Room, Room 2A, 888 First Street, NE, 
Washington, DC 20426, or by calling [phone]. The EA may also be 
viewed on the Web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Call (202) 208-
2222 for assistance.
