[Project No. 2077-016--NH/VT]


USGenNE; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

November 16, 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 application for a new license for 
the Fifteen Mile Falls Hydroelectric Project located on the Connecticut 
River, in Grafton County, New Hampshire and Caledonia County, Vermont, 
and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. In 
the EA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental 
effects of the project and has concluded that approval of the project, 
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 Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.gov using the ``RIMS'' link, select ``Docket#'' and follow 
the instructions. Please call (202) 208-2222 for assistance.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Room 1-A, 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Fifteen Mile Falls Hydroelectric 
Project No. 2077-016'' to all comments. For further information, 
contact William Guey-Lee at (202) 219-2808. Comments 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 
under the ``e-Filing'' link.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
