Madison Paper Industries, Inc.; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

September 19, 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 F.R. 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the applications for new licenses for 
the Anson and Abenaki Hydroelectric Projects, located on the Kennebec 
River in Somerset County, Maine, and has prepared an Environmental 
Assessment (EA) for the project. The projects do not occupy any federal 
lands.
    The EA contains the staff's analyzes of the potential environmental 
impacts of the projects and concludes that licensing the projects, with 
appropriate environmental protection measures, would not constitute a 
major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    A copy of the FEA 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) 
502-8659.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426. Please affix Project Nos. 2364-013 and 2365-024 to all comments. 
Comments may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. 
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings. See 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site 
(http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
