[Project No. 12557-001-RI]
SBER Royal Mills, LLC; Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment
November 3, 2008.
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the Office of Energy Projects has
reviewed the application for exemption from licensing for the Royal
Mills Hydroelectric Project, to be located on the South Branch Pawtuxet
River, in the Town of West Warwick, Kent County, Rhode Island, and has
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). In the EA, Commission staff
analyze the potential environmental effects of the project and conclude
that issuing an exemption for the project, with
[[Page 66643]]
appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major
federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.
A copy of the EA is on file with the Commission and is available
for public inspection. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's
Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the
docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number
field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online
Support at [email protected] or toll-free at 1-866-208-3676,

Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the issuance date
of this notice, and should be addressed to the Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Room 1-A,
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Royal Mills Hydroelectric Project
No. 12557'' to all comments. Comments may be filed electronically via
the Internet in lieu of paper. The Commission strongly encourages
