Northern States Power Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare an 
Environmental Assessment

    On August 18, 2023, Northern States Power Company filed an original 
license application for the Gile Flowage Storage Reservoir Project No. 
15055. The project is located on the West Fork of the Montreal River in 
Iron County, Wisconsin.
    In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on October 10, 
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, staff intends to prepare an environmental assessment (EA) on 
the application to license the project.\1\

considered in the Commission's final licensing decision.

community organizations, Tribal members, and others access publicly
