DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project Nos. 11516-000, 11120-002, and 11300-000--Michigan]
 
Commonwealth Power Company; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

January 10, 2002.
    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 license for the 
Irving, Middleville and LaBarge Hydroelectric Projects, located on the 
Thornapple River in Barry and Kent Counties, Michigan, and has prepared 
a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the projects. No federal 
lands are occupied by the projects.
    On March 29, 2001, the Commission staff issued a draft 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Irving, Middleville and LaBarge 
Hydroelectric Projects and requested that any comments be filed within 
45 days. Comments were filed by three entities and are addressed in the 
final EA.
    The FEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects 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 FEA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The FEA may also be viewed on the web at http://
www.ferc.gov Exit EPA Web Site using the ``RIMS'' link--select ``Docket#'' and follow the 
instructions (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    For further information, contact Mark Pawlowski at (202) 219-2795.

C.B. Spencer,
Acting Secretary.
