DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2694-002]


Nantahala Power and Light, a Division of Duke Engineering 
Company; Notice of Availability of Final Environmental Assessment

January 29, 2002.
    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 a new license for 
the existing and operating Queens Creek Hydroelectric Project FERC No. 
2694-002, located on Queens Creek, in Macon County, North Carolina and 
has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the project.
    The FEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects 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.
    A copy of the FEA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The FEA 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).
    For further information, contact Steve Kartalia at (202) 219-2942.

C. B. Spencer,
Acting Secretary.
