[Project No. 2901-008 and Project No. 2902-009]


Nekoosa Packaging Corporation; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

October 12, 2001.
    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 for license for the Big 
Island Hydroelectric Project and the Holcomb Rock Hydroelectric 
Project, located on the James River in Bedford and Amherst Counties, 
Virginia, and has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) for 
the project. No federal lands or Indian reservations are occupied by 
project works or located within the project boundary.
    The FEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the 
project, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not 
constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the 
quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the FEA are available for review at the Commission's 
Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371. The FEA may also be viewed on the 
web at http://www.ferec.gov using the ``RIMS'' link, select ``Docket#'' 
and follow the instructions (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
