The project is located on the Saranac River in Franklin and Clinton Counties, New York. In accordance with the Commission’s regulations, on February 29, 2024, Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for environmental analysis (REA Notice). Based on the information in the record, including comments filed on the REA Notice, staff does not anticipate that licensing the project would constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Therefore, 42867 staff intends to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) on the application to relicense the project. 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.
