Algonquin Power (Beaver Falls), 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 subsequent license for the Upper Beaver 
Falls Hydroelectric Project and the Lower Beaver Falls Hydroelectric 
Project, located on the Beaver River in Lewis County, New York, and has 
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the projects.
    The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of 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 EA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to
