[Project No. 13237-003-MA]


Whitman River Dam, Inc.; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for an original license 
for the Crocker Dam Hydroelectric Project, to be located on the Whitman 
River, within the Township of Westminster, Worcester County, 
Massachusetts, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA).
    The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with 
appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a 
major federal action that would significantly affect 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 documents. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support

For assistance, contact FERC Online Support.
    Any comments on the EA should be filed within 30 days from the date 
of this notice. Comments may be filed electronically via the Internet. 
See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's
