York. The projects do not occupy any
federal land.
In accordance with the Commission’s
regulations, on January 29, 2021,
Commission staff issued a notice that
the project was ready for environmental
analysis (REA notice).1 Based on the
information in the record, including
comments filed on the REA notice and
an Offer of Settlement (Settlement
Agreement), filed on May 28, 2021, staff
does not anticipate that licensing the
project would constitute a major federal
action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment. Therefore,
staff intends to prepare a multi-project
Environmental Assessment (EA) on the
application to license each of the
Mongaup River Projects.
The EA will be issued and circulated
for review by all interested parties. All
comments filed on the EA will be
analyzed by staff and considered in the
Commission’s final licensing decision.
The application will be processed
according to the following schedule.
Revisions to the schedule may be made
as appropriate.
