DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2309-019]
Jersey Central Power and Light Company, PSEG Fossil, LLC; Notice
of Availability of Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part
380, the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a
new license for the 364.5-megawatt (MW) Yards Creek Pumped Storage
Hydroelectric Project located on Yards Creek, in the townships of
Hardwick and Blairstown, Warren County, New Jersey and has prepared an
environmental assessment (EA). In the EA, Commission staff analyzes the
potential environmental effects of licensing the project and conclude
that issuing a license for the project, with appropriate environmental
measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment.
A copy of the EA is on file with the Commission and is available
for public inspection. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's
Web site at http://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 (866) 208-3676,
or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.

date of this notice, and should be addressed to the Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Room 1-A,
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Yards Creek Pumped Storage
Hydroelectric Project No. 2309-019'' to all comments. Comments may be
