[Project No. 2512-075; Project No. 14439-001]


Hawks Nest Hydro, LLC; Notice of Availability of Draft 
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, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the applications for new licenses for the Hawks Nest 
Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 2512-075) and the Glen Ferris 
Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 14439-001) located in Fayette 
County, West Virginia, and has prepared a Draft Environmental 
Assessment (Draft EA) for the projects.
    The Draft EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the projects and concludes that relicensing 
the projects, 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 available for review at the Commission in 
the Public Reference Room or may 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
