Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 1981-010-Wisconsin]


Oconto Electric Cooperative; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

September 9, 2002.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the 
Commission staff has reviewed the application for a subsequent license 
for the existing Stiles Hydroelectric Project, located on the Oconto 
River, in the township of Stiles, Oconto County, Wisconsin, and has 
prepared a final Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. No 
Federal lands are occupied by the project.
    On November 8, 2000, the Commission staff issued a draft EA for the 
Stiles Hydroelectric Project and requested that any comments be filed 
within 45 days. Comments were filed by various entities and are 
addressed in the final EA.
    The final EA contains the Commission staff's analysis of the 
potential environmental effects of the proposed project, the proposed 
project with staff-recommended measures, and no-action, and concludes 
that licensing the project, with appropriate environmental measures, 
would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.
    The final EA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access 
the document. For Assistance, call (202)502-8222 or for TTY, (202) 208-
1659.

Secretary.
