DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project Nos. 11834-000 and 4026-033--Maine]
FPL Energy Maine Hydro, LLC, Androscoggin Reservoir Company;
Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment
May 21, 2002.
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 FR 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for an original license
for the Upper and Middle Dam Storage Project located on the Rapid
River, in Oxford and Franklin Counties, Maine, and has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. In addition, the EA
analyzes the proposed permanent flow pursuant to Article 32 of the
existing license for the Aziscohos Project, located on the Magalloway
River, in Oxford County, Maine. In the EA, the Commission's staff has
analyzed the potential environmental effects of the project, and
permanent minimum flow and has concluded that approval of the project,
with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major
federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.
Copies of the 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 EA may also be viewed on the Web at http://
www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' link, select ``Docket#'' and
follow the instructions. Please call (202) 208-2222 for assistance.
Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this
notice and should be addressed to Magalie Roman Salas, Secretary,
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Room 1-A,
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Upper and Middle Dam Storage
Project No. 11834-000 and Aziscohos Hydroelectric Project No. 4026-
033'' to all comments. For further information, contact Mark Pawlowski
