and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the Office of Energy Projects has

Meriden, in New Haven County, Connecticut, 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 
Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the
