Bangor Hydroelectric Company; Notice of Availability of Final 
environmental Assessment

March 12, 1999.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Polciy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing reviewed the application for a new license for 
the existing Medway Hydroelectric Project. The Medway Project is 
located on the West Branch Penobscot River in the town of Medway, 
Penobscot County, Maine.
    On October 28, 1998, the Commission staff issued and distributed to 
all parties a draft environmental assessment on the project, and 
requested that comments be filed with the Commission within 45 days. 
Comments were filed and are addressed in the final environmental 
assessment (FEA).
    The FEA contains the staff's analysis of 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 FEA is available in the Public Reference Room, Room 2A, of the 
Commission's offices at 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. 
The FEA may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/

Acting Secretary.
