[Project No. 785-018-MI]

 
Consumers Energy Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

June 29, 2009.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) regulations, 
18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the Office of Energy 
Projects reviewed the application for a new license for the Calkins 
Bridge Hydroelectric Project, located on the Kalamazoo River in Allegan 
County, Michigan, and prepared an environmental assessment (EA). In the 
EA, Commission staff analyze the potential environmental effects of 
relicensing the project and conclude that issuing a new 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 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.
    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, 
contact FERC Online Support.
    Any comments 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 ``Calkins Bridge Project No. 785-
018'' to all comments. Comments may be filed electronically via 
Internet in lieu of paper. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
