[Project No. 10624-026]

French Hydro 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 or FERC) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for a subsequent license for the French Paper 
Hydroelectric Project (project) and has prepared an Environmental 
Assessment (EA). The project is located on the St. Joseph River in the 
City of Niles, Berrien County, Michigan, and does not occupy federal 
land.
    The EA analyzes the potential environmental effects of continuing 
to operate the project and concludes that issuing a subsequent license 
for the project, with appropriate environmental measures, would not 
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment.
    The Commission provides all interested persons an opportunity to 
view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's Home 
Page (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. At this time, the Commission has suspended access 
to Commission's Public Reference Room, due to the proclamation 
declaring a National Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease 
(COVID-19), issued by the President on March 13, 2020. 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

    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please
