[Project Nos. 11616-000-Michigan; 2566-010-Michigan]


City of Portland, MI, Consumers Energy Company; Notice of 
Availability of Final Environmental Assessment

May 3, 2001.
    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 Energy Projects has reviewed the City of Portland's application for 
original license for the operating unlicensed Portland Municipal 
Hydroelectric Project, and Consumers Energy Company's new license for 
the continued operation of the Webber Hydroelectric Project, located on 
the Grand River, in the City of Portland, Ionia County, Michigan, and 
has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the projects. 
In the FEA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the potential 
environmental effects of the projects and has concluded that licensing 
the projects, with staff's recommended 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 DEA may also be viewed on
