DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project Nos. 2618-020-ME; 2660-024-ME]


Woodland Pulp 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 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the applications for new licenses for 
the West Branch Project (FERC Project No. 2618) and the Forest City 
Project (FERC Project No. 2660). The West Branch Project is located on 
the West Branch of the St. Croix River in Penobscot, Washington, and 
Hancock Counties, Maine. The Forest City Project is located on the East 
Branch of the St. Croix River in Washington and Aroostook Counties, 
Maine.
    Staff prepared a multi-project draft environmental assessment (EA), 
which analyzes the potential environmental effects of licensing the 
projects, and concludes that licensing the projects, 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 draft EA is on file with the Commission and is 
available for public inspection. The draft EA may also be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' 
link. Enter the docket number, excluding the last three digits, in the
