[Project No. 5399-006 Maine]

Gardiner Water District; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment
March 12, 1996.
    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 486, 52 FR 47897), the Commission's 
Office of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed an exemption surrender 
application for the New Mills Dam Project, No. 5399-006. The New Mills 
Dam Project is located on Cobbosseecontee Stream in Kennebec County, 
Maine. The exemptee is applying for a surrender of the exemption 
because of a proposal to buy-out the remaining years of its power 
purchase agreement. An Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared for 
the application. The EA finds that approving the application 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 Commission's 
Reference and Information Center, Room 1C-1, 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
    Please submit any comments within 20 days from the date of this 
notice. Any comments, conclusions, or recommendations that draw upon 
studies, reports or other working papers of substance should be 
supported by appropriate documentation.
    Comments should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal 
Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 
20426. Please affix Project No. 5399-006 to all comments. For further 
information, please contact the project manager, Ms. Hillary Belin, at 
(202) 219-0038.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
