Slatersville Hydro, LLC; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

July 27, 2010.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for exemption from licensing for the 
Slatersville Hydroelectric Project, to be located on the Branch River, 
in Providence County, Rhode Island, and has prepared an Environmental 
Assessment (EA). In the EA, Commission staff analyze the potential 
environmental effects of the project and conclude that issuing an 
exemption for the project, with appropriate environmental measures, 
would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's 
Web site at 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 
Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll-free at 1-866-208-3676, 
or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice. Comments may be filed electronically via the Internet. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ferconline.asp) under the 
``eFiling'' link. For a simpler method of submitting text only 
comments, click on ``eComment.'' For assistance, please contact FERC 
Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov; call toll-free at (866)
