[Project Nos. 10855-002, Michigan, and 2589-024, Michigan]


Upper Peninsula Power Company, and Marquette Board of Light and 
Power; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment

April 30, 2002.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations 
contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (18 CFR part 380 
[FERC Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47897]), the Office of Energy Projects 
Staff (Staff) has reviewed the application for an initial license for 
the Dead River Project and a new license for the Marquette Project, 
both located on the Dead River in Marquette County, Michigan, and has 
prepared a draft environmental assessment (DEA) for the projects. In 
this DEA, the Staff has analyzed the potential environmental effects of 
the existing projects and has concluded that licensing the projects, 
with staff's recommended measures, would not constitute a major federal 
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, 
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. This DEA may also be viewed on the 
Internet at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' link, select 
``Docket#'' and follow the instructions. Please 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 Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426. Please affix ``Dead River Project No. 10855-002'' and/or 
``Marquette Project No. 2589-024,'' as appropriate, to all comments. 
For further information, please contact Lee Emery at (202) 219-2779.
    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
