DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 14633-001]


New England Hydropower Company, LLC; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for exemption from licensing for the Albion 
Dam Hydroelectric Project, to be located on the Blackstone River, near 
the Towns of Cumberland and Lincoln, Providence County, Rhode Island, 
and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). In the EA, 
Commission staff analyzes the potential environmental effects of the 
project and concludes that issuing an exemption for the project, with 
appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major 
federal action significantly affecting 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 
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
