Madison Paper Industries; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

August 30, 1996.
    A final environmental assessment (FEA) is available for public 
review. The FEA is for an application to amend the Anson Hydroelectric 
Project. The application is to resurface the dam; reconfigure the 
permanent crest; raising the elevation from 241.67' to 242.62' (except 
for a 50-ft section which will be lowered to 242.62') in order to 
accept an inflatable flashboard system; and install an inflatable 
flashboard system, raising the normal headpond elevation by 1.5 feet. 
The FEA finds that approval of the application would not constitute a 
major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment. The Anson Hydroelectric Project is located on the Kennebec 
River in Somerset County, Maine.
    The FEA was written by staff in the Office of Hydroelectric 
Licensing, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the FEA can 
be viewed at the Commission's Public Reference Room, Room 2A, 888 First 
Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. Copies can also be obtained by 
calling the project manager listed below. For further information, 
please contact the project manager, Jean A. Potvin, at [phone].
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
