DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Project No. 11163-000 Maine/New Hampshire]


Consolidated Hydro Maine, Inc.; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

December 23, 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 No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for a new license 
for the South Berwick Hydroelectric Project, located on the Salmon 
Falls River in the towns of South Berwick, Maine and Rollinsford, New 
Hampshire and has prepared a final Environmental Assessment (EA) for 
the project. In the EA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the 
potential environmental impacts of the existing project and has 
concluded that approval of the project, with appropriate environmental 
protection or enhancement 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 2A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
