DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2142-031-Maine]


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

March 21, 2003.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) regulations, 
18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy 
Projects has reviewed the application for a new major license for the 
Indian Pond Hydroelectric Project (P-2142-031), located on the Kennebec 
River in Somerset and Piscataquis counties, Maine, and has prepared an 
environmental assessment (EA) for the project. The EA contains the 
staff's analysis of the potential environmental impacts of the project 
and concludes that licensing the project, with appropriate 
environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal 
action that would significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment.
    A copy of the EA is available for public inspection in the Public 
Reference Room of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the Internet at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link--select ``Docket 
'' and follow the instructions. For assistance, please contact 
FERC online support at [email protected] or call toll-free 
866-208-3676 or (202) 502-8659 (for TTY).
    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 ``Indian Pond Project No. 2142-031'' to all 
comments.
    Comments may also be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu 
of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the 
Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission 
strongly encourages electronic filings.
    For further information, contact John Costello at (202) 502-6119.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
