[Project No. 13583-001--MA]


Crane and Company: Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

    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 Byron 
Weston Hydroelectric Project, to be located on the East Branch of the 
Housatonic River, in the Town of Dalton, Berkshire County, 
Massachusetts, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). In 
the EA, Commission staff analyzes the potential environmental effects 
of the project and concludes that issuing an exemption for the project, 
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.
    You may also register online at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp to be notified via email of new filings and issuances 
related to this or other pending projects. For assistance, contact FERC
