FPL Energy Maine Hydro, LLC, Androscoggin Reservoir Company; 
Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

May 21, 2002.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for an original license 
for the Upper and Middle Dam Storage Project located on the Rapid 
River, in Oxford and Franklin Counties, Maine, and has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. In addition, the EA 
analyzes the proposed permanent flow pursuant to Article 32 of the 
existing license for the Aziscohos Project, located on the Magalloway 
River, in Oxford County, Maine. In the EA, the Commission's staff has 
analyzed the potential environmental effects of the project, and 
permanent minimum flow and has concluded that approval of the project, 
with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major 
federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the Web 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 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to Magalie Roman Salas, Secretary, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Room 1-A, 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Upper and Middle Dam Storage 
Project No. 11834-000 and Aziscohos Hydroelectric Project No. 4026-
033'' to all comments. For further information, contact Mark Pawlowski 
at (202) 219-2795 or e-mail [email protected]. Comments may be
