Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 12790-002-CT]


Andrew Peklo III; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental 
Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and

[[Page 78350]]

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 an original license for the 
Pomperaug Hydro Project, to be located on the Pomperaug River, in the 
town of Woodbury, Litchfield County, Connecticut, and has prepared a 
draft Environmental Assessment (EA).
    The draft 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 draft EA is on file with the Commission and is 
available for public inspection. The draft 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
