Pike Island Hydroelectric Corporation; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for an original license to construct, operate, 
and maintain the Pike Island Hydroelectric Project No. 15230 (project). 
The proposed project would be located at the United States Army Corps 
of Engineer's (Corps) Pike Island Locks and Dam on the Ohio River in 
Belmont County, Ohio and Ohio County, West Virginia. Commission staff 
has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed 
project.\1\ The proposed project would

affect 4.35 acres of federal land administered the Corps.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ For tracking purposes under the National Environmental 
Policy Act, the unique identification number for documents relating 
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1756911771.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the proposed project and concludes that the original 
licensing of the project, with appropriate environmental protective 
measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would 
significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
    The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity 
to view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's 
Home Page (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov/">http://www.ferc.gov/</a>), using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter
