    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations part 380, the Office of 
Energy Projects has reviewed applications for original licenses for the 
Arkabutla Lake Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 13704-002), 
Sardis Lake Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 13701-002), Enid 
Lake Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 13703-002), and Grenada 
Lake Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 13702-002). The proposed 
projects would be constructed at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' 
(Corps') existing Arkabutla, Sardis, Enid, and Grenada dams located 
within the Yazoo River Basin in Mississippi. The Arkabutla Lake 
Hydroelectric Project would be near the town of Hernando, Mississippi, 
in Tate and DeSoto Counties on the Coldwater River at river mile (RM) 
86. The Sardis Lake Hydroelectric Project would be located near the 
town of Sardis, Mississippi, in Panola County on the Little 
Tallahatchie River at RM 69. The Enid Lake Hydroelectric Project would 
be located near the town of Enid, Mississippi, in Yalobusha County on 
the Yocona River at RM 14.5. The Grenada Lake Hydroelectric Project 
would be located near the town of Grenada, Mississippi, in Grenada 
County on the Yalobusha River at RM 47.3. The projects would occupy a 
total of 172.7 acres of federal land administered by the Corps.
    Staff has prepared a multi-project environmental assessment (EA) 
that analyzes the potential environmental effects of constructing and 
operating the four projects. Based on staff's analysis with appropriate 
environmental protection measures, constructing and operating the 
projects would not constitute a major federal action that would 
significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at 
www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number, 
excluding the last three digits, in the docket number field to access 
the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at 
[email protected] or toll-free at 1-866-208-3676, or for TTY, 
202-502-8659.
    You may also register online at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp to be notified via email of new filings and issuances 
related to these or other pending projects. For assistance, contact 
FERC Online Support.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please
