Northeast Generation Company, Connecticut; Notice of Intention to 
Hold Public Meetings for Discussion of the Draft Environmental Impact 
Statement for the Housatonic River Hydroelectric Project

    On July 11, 2003, the Commission staff mailed the Housatonic 
Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) to the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, resource and management agencies, and 
interested organizations and individuals.
    The DEIS was noticed in the Federal Register on July 18, 2003, and 
comments are due September 17, 2003. The DEIS evaluates the 
environmental consequences of the operation and maintenance of the five 
developments comprising the Housatonic River Project in Connecticut. 
About 74 acres within the project boundary are located on lands of the 
United States. The DEIS evaluates the environmental effects of 
implementing the applicant's proposals, agency and interested parties' 
recommendations, staff's recommendations, and the no-action 
alternative.
    Two public meetings, which will be recorded by an official 
stenographer, are scheduled:
