[Project No. P 11797-000]

 
Grande Pointe Power Corporation; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

November 8, 2002.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) 
regulations contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (18 CFR 
part 380 [FERC Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897]), the Office of Energy 
Projects staff (staff) reviewed the application for an original minor 
license for the Three Rivers Project, located on the St. Joseph River 
in the city of Three Rivers, St. Joseph County, Michigan, and has 
prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the project. In this EA, 
the staff has analyzed the potential environmental effects of the 
existing project and concluded that licensing the project, with staff's 
recommended measures, would not constitute a major Federal action 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room, or it may be viewed on the Commission's Web site 
at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link. For assistance, 
contact FERC Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll-free 
at (866)208-3676, or for TTY,contact (202)502-8659.

notice and should be addressed to Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426. Please affix ``Three Rivers Project No. 11797-000,'' to all 
comments. For further information, please contact Sean Murphy at (202) 
502-6145 or at sean.murphy@ferc.gov.
