[Project No. 2835-005 New York]


New York State Electric and Gas Corporation; Notice of 
Availability of Environmental Assessment

April 2, 2004.
    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 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for relicensing the 
Rainbow Falls Hydroelectric Project located on the Ausable River in 
Clinton and Essex counties, New York, and has prepared an Environmental 
Assessment (EA) for the project. The EA contains the staff's analysis 
of the potential environmental effects 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 review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to 
access the document. For assistance, please 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 Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426. Please affix ``Rainbow Falls Project No. 2835-005'' 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 under the ``e-Filing'' link. For further information, contact Jack
