For purposes of this section, the term environmental assessment shall have the same meaning as is given such term in regulations prescribed by the Council on Environmental Quality that implement the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 ( 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq. ). Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Commission shall complete an environmental assessment for Federal Energy Regulatory Commission projects numbered 10822 and 10823, updating, to the extent necessary, the environmental analysis performed during the process of licensing such projects.
Upon issuance of the environmental assessment required under subsection (b), the Commission shall— initiate a 30-day public comment period; and before taking any action under section 2 or 3— consider any comments received during such 30-day period; and incorporate in the license for the projects involved, such terms and conditions as the Commission determines to be necessary, based on the environmental assessment performed and comments received under this section.
