BOST5 Hydroelectric LLC..........  Project No. 12758-004
BOST4 Hydroelectric LLC..........  Project No. 12757-004
BOST3 Hydroelectric LLC..........  Project No. 12756-003

    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 (CFR). Part 380 (Order No.
486, 52 Federal Register 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has
reviewed the applications for original licenses for the Red River Lock
and Dam No. 5 Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 12758-004), Red
River Lock and Dam No. 4 Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 12757-
004), and Red River Lock and Dam No. 3 Hydroelectric Project (FERC
Project No. 12756-003). The proposed projects would be located on the
Red River in Louisiana. The Lock and Dam No. 5 Project would be located
in Bossier Parish, near the Town of Ninock, Louisiana, at the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Lock and Dam No. 5 at river mile (RM) 200
and would occupy 69.9 acres of federal lands managed by the Corps. The
Lock and Dam No. 4 Project would be located in Red River Parish, near
the Town of Coushatta, Louisiana, at the Corps' Lock and Dam No. 4 at
RM 168.5 and would occupy 135.1 acres of federal lands managed by the
Corps. The Lock and Dam No. 3 Project would be located in Natchitoches
Parish, near the Town of Colfax, Louisiana, at the Corps' Lock and Dam
No. 3 at RM 116.5 and would occupy 60.2 acres of federal lands managed
by the Corps.
    Staff prepared a multi-project environmental assessment (EA), which
analyzes the potential environmental effects of licensing the three
projects, and concludes that licensing the projects, with appropriate
environmental protection measures, 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
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket
number excluding the last three digits, in the docket number field to
