[Project No. 12608-000-MA]


Alternatives Unlimited, Inc; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

September 15, 2006.
    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 exemption from licensing for the 
Alternatives Hydro Power Project, to be located on the Mumford River, 
in the Town of Northbridge, Worcester County, Massachusetts, and has 
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). In the EA, Commission staff 
analyze the potential environmental impacts of the project and conclude 
that exempting the project from licensing, 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 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 ``Alternatives Hydro Power Project 
No. 12608'' to all comments. Comments may be filed electronically via 
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 ``eFiling'' link. For further 
information, contact Tom Dean at (202) 502-6041.
