Allete, Inc., d.b.a. Minnesota Power, Inc; Notice of Availability 
of Environmental Assessment

 July 29, 2003.
    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 a new license for 
the Winton Hydroelectric Project located on the Kawishiwi River, in 
Lake and St. Louis Counties, Minnesota, and has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. In the EA, the 
Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental effects of 
the project 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.
    A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission or 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 access the document. For 
assistance, contact FERC Online Support at [email protected] 
or toll-free at (866)208-3676, or for TTY, contact (202)502-8659.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to the Secretary, Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Room 1-A, Washington, DC 
20426. Please affix ``Winton Project No. 469'' 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
