Ohio Power and Light, LLC; 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 Robert C. Byrd Locks and Dam Hydroelectric Project No. 
15094 (project). The proposed 28.5-megawatt project would be located at 
the United States Army Corps of Engineer's (Corps) Robert C. Byrd Locks 
and Dam facility on the Ohio River in Mason County, West Virginia. The 
proposed project would affect 18.3 acres of federal land administered 
by the Corps. Commission staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment 
(EA) for the proposed project.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ For tracking purposes under the National Environmental 
Policy Act, the unique identification number for documents relating 
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1767861985.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the proposed project and concludes that licensing 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
