DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 3133-033]


Brookfield White Pine Hydro, LLC, Errol Hydro Co., 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, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for a new license to continue to operate and 
maintain the Errol Hydroelectric Project. The project is located on the 
Androscoggin River and Umbagog Lake, near the Town of Errol, and 
Township of Cambridge, in Coos County, New Hampshire, and the Towns of 
Magalloway Plantation and Upton in Oxford County, Maine. Commission 
staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. 
The project would occupy 3,285 acres of federal land in the Umbagog 
National Wildlife Refuge administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service.
    The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
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.
    The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity 
to view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's 
Home Page (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. For assistance, contact FERC Online
