Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2077-016--New Hampshire, Vermont]


USGen New England, Inc.; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

March 28, 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 Fifteen Mile Falls Hydroelectric Project, located on the 
Connecticut River, in Grafton County, New Hampshire and Caledonia 
County, Vermont, and has prepared a final Environmental Assessment (EA) 
for the project. The project does not occupy any Federal lands.
    On November 16, 2001, the Commission staff issued an EA for the 
Fifteen Mile Falls Project and requested that any comments be filed 
within 30 days. Comments were filed by various entities and are 
addressed in the final EA.
    The final EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the Fifteen Mile Falls Project and various 
alternatives, including no-action, and concludes that licensing the 
project, 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 final EA is available for public review in the Public 
Reference Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First 
Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426. The final 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.
    For further information, contact William Guey-Lee at (202) 219-
2808.

Deputy Secretary.
