SBER Royal Mills, LLC; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

November 3, 2008.
    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 Royal 
Mills Hydroelectric Project, to be located on the South Branch Pawtuxet 
River, in the Town of West Warwick, Kent County, Rhode Island, and has 
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). In the EA, Commission staff 
analyze the potential environmental effects of the project and conclude 
that issuing an exemption for the project, with
