Central Maine Power Company; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

December 17, 1997.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for relicensing of 
the Flagstaff Project, located in Somerset and Franklin Counties, 
Maine, and has prepared a draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the 
project. In the DEA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the potential 
environmental impacts of the existing project and has concluded that 
approval of the project, with appropriate environmental protection 
measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, 
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Room 2-A, 
Washington, D.C. 20426. Please affix ``Flagstaff Project No. 2512'' to 
all comments. For further information, please contact Edward R. Meyer 
at [phone].
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
