Penobscot River Restoration Trust; Notice of Availability of 
Draft Environmental Assessment

August 4, 2009.
    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 an application filed on November 7, 2008, to surrender the 
project licenses for the Veazie, Great Works, and Howland Hydroelectric 
Projects, located on the Penobscot and Piscataquis Rivers in Penobscot 
County, Maine. A draft environmental assessment (DEA) has been prepared 
as part of staff's review. The DEA finds that approval of the 
application would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the DEA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The DEA may also be viewed on the Commission's 
Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the 
docket number (P-2403, P-2312, or P-2721) 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 1-866-208-3372, or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any comments should be filed by September 3, 2009, and should be 
addressed to the Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE., Room 1-A, Washington, DC 20426. Please reference the 
project name and project number (P-2232) on 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)
