[Project No. 2335-039-ME]


Brookfield White Pine Hydro LLC; Notice of Availability of 
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 application for a new license for 
the Williams Hydroelectric Project, located on the Kennebec River in 
Somerset County, Maine, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment 
(EA). The project does not occupy any federal land.
    The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential impacts 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 EA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may 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 docket number field, to
