Midwest Hydro, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental 
Assessment

    On August 30, 2022, Midwest Hydro, LLC filed a relicense 
application for a subsequent license to continue operating the 0.48-
megawatt Beloit Hydroelectric Project No. 2348 (Beloit Project). The 
project is located on the Rock River, near the City of Beloit in Rock 
County, Wisconsin.
    In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on December 4, 
2024, Commission staff issued a notice that the Beloit 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 Beloit 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 Beloit 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 Commission's Office of Public Participation (OPP) supports 
meaningful public engagement and participation in Commission 
proceedings. OPP can help members of the public, including landowners, 
community organizations, Tribal members and others, access publicly 
available information and navigate Commission processes. For public 
inquiries and assistance with making filings such as interventions, 
comments, or requests for rehearing, the public is encouraged to 
contact OPP at (202) 502-6595 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#2b647b7b6b4d4e5948054c445d"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="c58a959585a3a0b7a6eba2aab3">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>.
    The application will be processed according to the following 
schedule. Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate.
