Rhinelander Paper Company; Consolidated Water Power; Notice of 
Availability of Draft Multiple Project Environmental Assessment

December 28, 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 47879), the Office of 
Energy Projects has reviewed the applications for license for the 
Rhinelander, Stevens Point, and Biron projects, located on the 
Wisconsin River, in Oneida, Portage, and Wood Counties, Wisconsin, and 
has prepared a Draft Multiple Project Environmental Assessment (DEA) 
for these projects. There are no federal lands occupied by the project 
works or located within the project boundaries.
    The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the project and concludes that licensing the 
projects, with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute 
a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of 
the human environment.
    A copy of the DEA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The DEA may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' link--select ``Docket#'' and follow the 
instructions (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Any comments should be filed within 45 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting 
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix the Project No. 2161, 2192, or 2110 
to the comments. 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.
    For further information, contact Michael Spencer at 202-219-2846.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
