[Projects Nos. 1940-029 and 1966-054]

Wisconsin Public Service Corporation; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the applications for new licenses for 
the 2.6-megawatt (MW) Tomahawk Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 
1940-029) and the 17.24-MW Grandfather Falls Hydroelectric Project 
(FERC Project No. 1966-054) and has prepared a single environmental 
assessment (EA) that includes both projects. Both projects are located 
on the Wisconsin River in Lincoln County, Wisconsin.
    The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the projects and concludes that licensing the projects, with 
appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a 
major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the 
human environment.
    A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website at 
www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. For each project, enter the 
docket number, excluding the last three digits, in the docket number 
field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online

notice. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please
