[Project No. 3472-024]

Aspinook 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) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for a new license for the Wyre Wynd 
Hydroelectric Project and has prepared an Environmental Assessment 
(EA). The project is located on the Quinebaug River in New London and 
Windham Counties, Connecticut. No federal land is occupied by project 
works or located within the project boundary.
    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the proposed 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 Commission provides all interested persons with 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
