DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Federal Energy Regulatory Commission


[Project No. 401-027, Michigan]


 
Indiana Michigan Power Company; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment


November 26, 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) has reviewed the application for a new license 
for the Mottville Hydroelectric Project, located on the St. Joseph's 
River in Mottville Township in St. Joseph County, Michigan, and has 
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. The project 
does not use or occupy any Federal facilities or lands. In this EA, the 
staff has analyzed the potential environmental effects of the existing 
project and has 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.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. This EA may also be viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov.

notice and should be addressed to Magalie Roman Salas, Secretary, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
