DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 4784-106]

Topsham Hydro Partners Limited Partnership (L.P.); Notice of 
Availability of Final Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for license for the Pejepscot Hydroelectric 
Project, located on the Androscoggin River in Sagadahoc, Cumberland, 
and Androscoggin Counties in the village of Pejepscot and the town of 
Topsham, Maine and has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) 
for the project. No federal land is occupied by project works or 
located within the project boundary.
    The FEA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with 
appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a 
major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the 
human environment.

    The number of pages in the FEA exceeds the page limits set forth in 
the Council on Environmental Quality's July 16, 2020 final rule, Update 
to the Regulations Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the 
National Environmental Policy Act (85 FR 43304). Noting the scope and 
complexity of the proposed action and action alternatives, the Director 
of the Office of Energy Projects, as our senior agency official, has 
authorized this page limit exceedance for the EA.
    The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity 
to view and/or print the FEA 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 the 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
