[Project No. 2738-054-NY]


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

October 6, 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 Saranac River 
Hydroelectric Project, located on the Saranac River, in Clinton County, 
New York, 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 documents. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support
