DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 6032-041]


Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation and Fourth Branch Associates 
(Mechanicville); New York; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

March 4, 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 license for the 
Mechanicville Hydroelectric Project, located on the Hudson River in 
Saratoga and Rensselaer Counties, New York, and has prepared a Final 
Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the project. A Draft Environmental 
Assessment was issued on November 13, 2001. 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 surrendering 
the license for 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 attached to the Commission Order Accepting 
License Surrender issued on February 28, 2002 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 Ellen Armbruster (202) 208-1672.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
