[Project No. 10855-000]

 
Upper Peninsula Power Company; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

September 17, 2009.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part 
380, Commission staff have prepared an environmental assessment (EA) 
regarding Upper Peninsula Power Company's request to replace the 
penstock at the McClure development of the Dead River Hydroelectric 
Project (FERC No. 10855) located on the Dead River in Marquette County, 
Michigan.
    The EA contains the Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the proposed replacement of the McClure 
Penstock and concludes that the proposed penstock replacement, with 
appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a 
major Federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the 
human environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Room 2-A of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's 
Internet Web site (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. Additional information about the 
project is available from the Commission's Office of External Affairs, 
at (202) 502-6088, or on the Commission's Web site using the eLibrary 
link. For assistance with eLibrary, contact FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov
