[Project No. 11834-057]


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

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
as amended, and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or 
FERC) regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the 
Commission has reviewed a request to replace the spillway at the Upper 
Dam development, which is part of the Upper and Middle Dam Storage 
Project (FERC No. 11834). The purpose of the action is to satisfy the 
Commission's Division of Dam Safety and Inspections required 
remediation under 18 CFR Part 12. The licensee seeks Commission 
approval to conduct the spillway replacement. This environmental 
assessment (EA) analyzes the environmental impacts of the proposed 
spillway repairs and concludes that approval of the request, with 
appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major 
federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment. The project is located on the outlet from 
Mooselookmeguntic Lake in Oxford and Franklin Counties, Maine.
    The EA was written by staff in the Commission's Office of Energy 
Projects. 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-
866-208-3372, or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.

    Dated: February 15, 2012.
Kimberly D. Bose,
 Secretary.
