DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2474-004 New York]

 
Erie Boulevard Hydropower L.P.; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

December 6, 2001.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects, Division of Environmental and Engineering Review, 
reviewed the application for relicensing of the Oswego River 
Hydroelectric Project, located on the Oswego River in Oswego County, 
New York.
    On November 24, 1999, the Commission staff issued a draft 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project and requested that any 
comments be filed within 45 days (later extended to January 31, 2000). 
Comments were filed by five entities and are addressed in the final EA 
for the project.
    In the final EA, the Commission's staff analyze the potential 
environmental impacts of the existing project and conclude that 
approval of the project, with appropriate environmental protection 
measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the final EA are available for review in the Public 
Reference Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First 
Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, The final EA may also be viewed on 
the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' link, select 
``Docket#'' and follow the instructions (call 202-208-2222 for 
assistance).
