[Project No. 2361-056]
Allete, Inc.; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Assessment
On December 20, 2021, Allete, Inc. filed a relicense application
for the 1.1-megawatt Prairie River Project No. 2361 (project). The
project is located On the Prairie River, near the Township of Arbo in
Itasca County, Minnesota. The project does not occupy Federal land.
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on October 28,
2022, Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for
environmental analysis (REA notice). Based on the information in the
record, 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
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.

\1\ The Council on Environmental Quality's (CEQ) regulations

year of the Federal action agency's decision to prepare an EA. This
notice establishes the Commission's intent to prepare an EA for the
Prairie River Project. Therefore, in accordance with CEQ's
regulations, the EA must be issued within 1 year of the issuance
date of this notice.
Dated: January 25, 2023.
