Availability of Environmental
Assessment

In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Federal Energy Regulatory

regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No.
486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy
Projects has reviewed an application for
non-project use of project lands and

waters at the Keowee-Toxaway
Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2503),
and has prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the proposed nonproject use. The non-project use of
project lands and waters is located on
Lake Keowee in Pickens County, South
Carolina.
In the application, Duke Power
requests Commission authorization to
lease 63 acres of project land to Warpath
Development, Inc. to construct and
maintain a public recreation area at the
Warpath Access Area. The public
recreation area would include water
related facilities and services, outdoor
recreation opportunities, lodging, and
dining. The EA contains Commission
staff’s analysis of the probable
environmental impacts of the proposal
and concludes that approving the
licensee’s application would not
constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment.
The EA is attached to a Commission
order titled ‘‘Order Approving NonProject Use of Project Lands and
Waters,’’ which was issued June 30,
2006, and is available for review and
reproduction at the Commission’s
Public Reference Room, located at 888
First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington,

Panelists will provide their views on
the proposed Reliability Standards in
the context of the May 11, 2006 Staff
Preliminary Assessment, focusing on
the following questions:
• Do the proposed standards meet the
criteria established in Order No. 672 1
for Commission approval?
• To the extent some standards do not
meet the criteria, which should be
addressed first? Are there some that
have a greater impact on reliability?
• Is it appropriate to focus on the
Blackout Report recommendations that
have not yet been addressed by the
standards, or are there other standards
that should receive a higher priority?
• Should all Reliability Standards
have performance metrics to gauge the
effectiveness of the standards? How
quickly can such specific performance
metrics be developed? Is there another
process that could be used to develop
metrics for existing standards?
• What are the implications of
applying the EPAct definition of the
Bulk Power System instead of the NERC
definition of the Bulk Electric System?
• How do we define the ‘‘Users,
Owners, and Operators’’ of the ‘‘BulkPower System’’?
• How should a work plan be
developed that schedules standards for
revision? What are the opportunities for
participation in this process by the
interested stakeholders?
• What coordination is necessary
with other State, Federal, and/or
international regulators to ensure a good
transition to mandatory reliability
standards?
• What process should the United
States, Canada, and Mexico follow for
review and approval of Reliability
Standards to meet possible time
constraints?
