Summit Hydropower, Incorporated; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

January 22, 1999.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) regulations, 18 
CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office of Hydropower 
Licensing has reviewed the application for an original license for the 
Gainer Dam Hydroelectric Project, located in the town of Scituate, 
Providence County, Rhode Island, and has prepared a Final Environmental 
Assessment (FEA) for the project. In the FEA, the Commission's staff 
has analyzed the potential environmental effects of rehabilitating and 
enlarging an existing project and has concluded that approval of the 
project, as proposed with additional staff-recommended measures, would 
not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the FEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, 
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the web at 
www.ferc.fed.us. Please call (202) 208-2222 for assistance.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
