EONY Generation Limited; Notice of Intent To Prepare an 
Environmental Assessment

    On January 28, 2021, EONY Generation Limited (EONY) filed an 
application for a new major license for the 3.645-megawatt Philadelphia 
Hydroelectric Project (Philadelphia Project; FERC No. 4334). The 
Philadelphia Project is located on the Indian River, in the Village of 
Philadelphia in Jefferson County, New York. The project does not occupy 
federal land.
    In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on July 21, 2022, 
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, staff intends to prepare an Environmental 
Assessment (EA) on the application to relicense the Philadelphia 
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.
    The application will be processed according to the following 
schedule. Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate.
