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

September 12, 2005.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR Part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for a new license for the Bar Mills 
Hydroelectric Project, located on the Saco River, York County, Maine, 
and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). In the EA, 
Commission staff analyze the potential environmental effects of 
relicensing the project and conclude that issuing a new license for the 
project, with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute 
a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of 
the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The EA may also 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, contact FERC Online 
Support at [email protected] or toll-free at 1-866-208-3676, 
or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the issuance 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 ``Bar Mills Project No. 2194-020'' 
to all comments. Comments may

strongly encourages electronic filings. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)
