Madison Paper Industries, Inc.; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment
September 19, 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 F.R. 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the applications for new licenses for
the Anson and Abenaki Hydroelectric Projects, located on the Kennebec
River in Somerset County, Maine, and has prepared an Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the project. The projects do not occupy any federal
lands.
The EA contains the staff's analyzes of the potential environmental
impacts of the projects and concludes that licensing the projects, with
appropriate environmental protection measures, would not constitute a
major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.
A copy of the FEA 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 ``FERRIS'' link. Enter the
docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field
to access the document. For assistance, call (202) 502-8222 or for TTY,
(202) 502-8659.
Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this
notice and should be addressed to Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
20426. Please affix Project Nos. 2364-013 and 2365-024 to all comments.
Comments may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings. See 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site
(http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
