Fall River Electric Cooperative, Inc.; Notice of Revised Schedule 
for Environmental Assessment

    On August 31, 2021, Fall River Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Fall 
River) filed an application for a new major license for the existing 
7.45-megawatt Felt Hydroelectric Project (Felt Project;

[[Page 67564]]

FERC No. 5089). The Felt Project is located on the Teton River in Teton 
County, Idaho. The project occupies federal lands administered by the 
U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
    In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on October 1, 
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. On 
December 15, 2025, the Commission issued a notice of intent to prepare 
an Environmental Assessment (EA) with a schedule indicating that staff 
anticipated issuing the EA on August 31, 2026. On July 29, 2026, the 
Commission issued a notice of intent to prepare an EA with a schedule 
indicating that staff anticipated issuing the EA on October 30, 2026. 
However, upon further review, staff intends to issue the EA by December 
15, 2026.\1\
