Orion Power New York GP II, Inc., Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

May 27, 2003.
    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 FR 47,897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for license for the 
Newton Falls Hydroelectric Project, located on Oswegatchie River in St. 
Lawrence County, New York, and prepared an environmental assessment 
(EA). The EA contains staff's analysis of the environmental effects of 
the proposal and concludes that approval, with additional staff-
recommended measures, would not constitute a major federal action 
significantly affecting the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room, or it may be viewed on the Commission's Web site 
at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link. Enter the docket 
number, excluding the last three digits in the docket number field, to

related to this or other pending projects. For assistance, please

from the date of this letter. The comments should be addressed to 
Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Please affix the Project No. 
7000-015 to all comments. Comments may be filed electronically via the
