DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2612-005, Maine]


Central Maine Power Company; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

February 4, 1999.
    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 F.R. 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for relicensing of 
the Flagstaff Project, located in Somerset and Franklin Counties, 
Maine, and has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the 
project. On December 17, 1997, the Commission staff issued and 
distributed to all parties a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) on 
the project, and requested that comments be filed with the Commission 
within 30 days. Comments were filed and are addressed in the FEA. The 
FEA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental impacts of 
the existing project and has concluded that approval of the project, 
with appropriate environmental protection measures, would not 
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment.
    Copies of the FEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, 
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the web at 
www.ferc.fed.us. Please call (202) 208-2222 for assistance.
