Content

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new license to continue to
operate and maintain the Moose River Hydroelectric Project No. 4349 (project). The project is located on the Moose River in
Lewis County, New York. Commission staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. (1)

with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect
the quality of the human environment. The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity to view and/or print
the EA via the internet through the Commission's Home Page (http://www.ferc.gov/), using the “eLibrary” link. Enter the docket number, excluding the last three digits in the docket number field, to access
