Appalachian Mountain Club; 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 47879, December 17, 
1987), the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for 
the Zealand Falls Hydroelectric Project, located on the on Whitewall 
Brook, in the Town of Bethlehem, Grafton County, New Hampshire and has 
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. The project 
occupies 0.66 acres of federal land managed by the U.S. Forest 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.
    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.govusing the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access
