    p. Scoping Process: In gathering background information for 
preparation of the environmental document for the issuance of a Federal 
hydropower license, staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 
is using a scoping process to identify significant environmental issues 
related to the construction and operation or the continued operation of 
hydropower projects. The staff will review all issues raised during the 
scoping process and identify issues deserving of study and also 
deemphasize insignificant issues, narrowing the scope of the 
environmental analysis as well. If preliminary analysis indicates that 
any issues presented in the scoping process would have little potential 
for causing significant impacts, the issue or issues will be identified 
and the reasons for not providing a more detailed analysis will be 
given.
    q. Request for Scoping Comments: Federal, state, and local resource 
agencies; licensees, applicants and developers; Indian tribes; other 
interested groups and individuals, are requested to forward to the 
Commission, any information that they believe will assist the 
Commission staff in conducting an accurate and thorough analysis of the 
site-specific and cumulative environmental effects of the proposed 
licensing activities of the project(s). Therefore you are requested to 
provide information related to the following items:
     Information, data, maps or professional opinion that may 
contribute to defining the geographical and temporal scope of the 
analysis and identifying significant environmental issues.
     Identification of and information from any other EIS or 
similar study (previous, on-going, or planned) relevant to the proposed 
licensing activities in the subject river basin.
     Existing information and any data that would aid in 
describing the past and present effects of the project(s) and other 
developmental activities on the physical/chemical, biological, and 
socioeconomic environments. For example, fish stocking/management 
histories in the subject river, historic water quality data and the 
reasons for improvement or degradation of the quality, any wetland 
habitat loss or proposals to develop land and water resources within 
the basin.
     Identification of any federal, state or local resource 
plans and future project proposals that encompass the subject river or 
basin. For example, proposals to construct or operate water treatment 
facilities, recreation areas, or implement fishery management programs.
     Documentation that would support a conclusion that the 
project(s) does not contribute, or does contribute to adverse and 
beneficial cumulative effects on resources and therefore should be 
excluded from further study or excluded from further consideration of 
cumulative impacts within the river basin. Documentation should 
include, but not be limited to: how the project(s) interact with other 
projects within the river basin or other developmental activities; 
results from studies; resource management policies; and, reports from 
federal, state, and local agencies.
    Comments concerning the scope of the environmental document should 
be filed by the deadline established in paragraph D9.
    2a. Type of Application: Transfer of License.
    b. Project No.: 2555-002.
    c. Date filed: November 23, 1993.
    d. Applicant: Central Maine Power Company.
    e. Name of Project: Automatic Project.
    f. Location: On the Messalonskee Stream in Kennebec County, Maine.

    i. FERC Contact: Hank Ecton, (202) 219-2678.
    j. Comment Date: October 31, 1994.
    k. Description of Project Action: Central Maine Power Company 
proposes to transfer the license for the Automatic Project No. 2555 to 
the Kennebec Water District. The transfer application is the result of 
the termination of a 1923 agreement between the transferor and 
transferee concerning project ownership and operation. The purpose of 
the transfer is to facilitate conveyance of all property rights in the 
project from the transferor to the transferee.
    The transfer application was filed within five years of the 
expiration of the license for Project No. 2555, which is the subject of 
a pending relicensing application (which also includes project numbers 
2556, 2557, and 2559). In Hydroelectric Relicensing Regulations Under 
the Federal Power Act (FERC stats. and Regs., Regs. Preambles 1986-1990 
30,854 at p. 31,437), the Commission declined to forbid all license 
transfers during the last five years of an existing license, and 
instead indicated that it would scrutinize all such transfer requests 
to determine if the transfer's primary purpose was to give the 
transferee an advantage in relicensing (id. at p. 31,438 n. 318). The 
transfer would lead to the substitution of the transferee for the 
transferor as the applicant in the relicensing proceedings for Project 
No. 2555 (the transferor would remain the applicant for project numbers 
2556, 2557, and 2559).
