DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 12715-003]
Fairlawn Hydroelectric Company, LLC; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part
380, the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for an
original license for the proposed 14,000-kilowatt (kW) Jennings
Randolph Hydroelectric Project located on the North Branch Potomac
River in Garrett County, Maryland and Mineral County, West Virginia, at
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Jennings Randolph Dam and has
prepared an environmental assessment (EA). In the EA, Commission staff
assess the potential environmental effects of licensing the project and
conclude that issuing a license for the project, with 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 final 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 (866)
208-3676, or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
You may also register online at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp to be notified via e-mail of new filings and
issuances related to this or other pending projects. For assistance,

Comments on the EA 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 ``Jennings Randolph Hydroelectric
Project No. 12715-003'' to all comments. Comments may be filed
