Monadnock Paper Mills, 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) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new license for 
the multi-development Monadnock Hydroelectric Project, located along a 
five-mile reach of the Contoocook River in the towns of Peterborough, 
Greenfield, Hancock, and Bennington in Hillsborough County, New 
Hampshire, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 
project. The project does not occupy any federal land.
    The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with 
appropriate environmental 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 the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online

notice. Comments may be filed electronically via the Internet. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
