DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2471-005--Michigan]


Wisconsin Electric Power Company; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

November 9, 2000.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application to surrender license 
for the Sturgeon Plant Project located on the Sturgeon River, a 
tributary of the Menominee River, in Dickinson County, Michigan, and 
has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. In the 
EA, the Commission staff has analyzed the potential environmental 
effects of the proposed action and has concluded that accepting 
surrender of the license, with appropriate environmental 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 Commission's 
Public Reference Branch, Room 2A, located at 888 First Street, NE, 
Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the Internet at 
http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Please call (202) 208-2222 for 
assistance.
    Any comments should be filed by December 1, 2000, and should be 
addressed to David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426. Please affix 
Project No. 2471-005 to all comments. Comments and protests may be 
filed electronically via the internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site 
at http://www.ferc.fed.us/efi/doorbell.htm.
    For further information, please contact Patti Leppert at (202) 219-
2767.
