[Project Nos. 2731-020 & 2737-002 Vermont]


Central Vermont Public Service Corporation; Notice of 
Availability of Final Environmental Assessment

November 1, 2000.
    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 applications for new license 
for the continued operation of the Weybridge and Middlebury Lower 
Hydroelectric Projects located on Otter Creek, in the towns of 
Middlebury and Weybridge, Addison County, Vermont, and has prepared a 
Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the projects. In the FEA, the 
Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental impacts of 
the projects, evaluated comments filed in response to the issuance of 
the Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA), and has concluded that 
approval of the projects, 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, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The FEA may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Please call (202) 208-2222 for 
assistance.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
