Niagara Mohawk Power Corp Northern Electric Power Co., L.P.; 
Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969

Regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order

[[Page 37734]]

486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Commission's Office of Hydropower Licensing 
has reviewed a capacity-related license amendment application for the 
Hudson Falls Project, No. 5276-036. The Hudson Falls Project is located 
on the Hudson River in Saratoga and Warren Counties, New York. As 
licensed, the installed and hydraulic capacities are 36.034 MW and 
7,500 cfs, respectively. The licensee is applying to amend the license 
to reflect the as-built installed and hydraulic capacities of 44 MW and 
8,750 cfs, respectively. 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, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426.
    Please submit any comments within 30 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, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426. Please affix Project No. 5276-036 to all comments. For further
