City of St. Cloud, Minnesota; Notice Of Intent To Prepare An 
Environmental Assessment

    On December 15, 2022, City of St. Cloud, Minnesota filed an 
application to relicense the 8.64-megawatt St. Cloud Hydroelectric 
Project No. 4108 (project). The project is located on the Mississippi 
River, in the City of St. Cloud, in Stearns, Benton, and Sherburne 
Counties, Minnesota.
    In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on May 8, 2025, 
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 project.\1\

Policy Act, the unique identification number for documents relating 
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1751981550.

    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 to 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

to the schedule may be made as appropriate.
