DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 12715-003]

Fairlawn Hydroelectric Company, LLC; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part 
380, the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for an 
original license for the proposed 14,000-kilowatt (kW) Jennings 
Randolph Hydroelectric Project located on the North Branch Potomac 
River in Garrett County, Maryland and Mineral County, West Virginia, at 
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Jennings Randolph Dam and has 
prepared an environmental assessment (EA). In the EA, Commission staff 
assess the potential environmental effects of licensing the project and 
conclude that issuing a license 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 final 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 (866) 
208-3676, or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    You may also register online at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp to be notified via e-mail of new filings and 
issuances related to this or other pending projects. For assistance,

    Comments on the EA should be filed within 30 days from the issuance 
date of this notice, and should be addressed to the Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Room 1-A, 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Jennings Randolph Hydroelectric 
Project No. 12715-003'' to all comments. Comments may be filed 
electronically via Internet in lieu of paper. The Commission strongly 
encourages electronic filings.

    Dated: October 3, 2011.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
