Brookfield White Pine Hydro, LLC; Errol Hydro Co., LLC; Notice of 
Availability of Final 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 a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the 
project. The project would occupy 3,285 acres of federal land in the 
Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service.
    The FEA 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 FEA via the internet through the Commission's 
Home Page (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov/">http://www.ferc.gov/</a>), 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
