[Project No. 2520-076]


Great Lakes Hydro America, 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 application for new license for the Mattaceunk 
Hydroelectric Project, located on the Penobscot River in Aroostook and 
Penobscot Counties, Maine, and has prepared a Draft Environmental 
Assessment (DEA) for the project. The project does not occupy federal 
land.
    The DEA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
effects of continued operation and maintenance of the project. The DEA 
concludes that relicensing 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 DEA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website 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
