DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Magalie R. Salas, Secretary. [FR Doc. E6–9294 Filed 6–13–06; 8:45 am] [Project No. 2485–033, Massachusetts] Northeast Generation Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES June 7, 2006. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (Commission) regulations (18 CFR part 380), Commission staff have reviewed the application, filed May 12, 2006, by the project licensee, Northeast Generation Company, for a temporary amendment of license for the Northfield Mountain Pumped Storage Project. The request is for a deviation from required project operating limits to allow additional operating flexibility this summer. The project is located on the east side of the Connecticut River, in the towns of Northfield and Erving, in Franklin County, Massachusetts. The proposal would modify the upper reservoir’s water surface elevation limits from 938 and 1000.5 feet mean sea level (msl), to 920 and 1004.5 feet msl, respectively, and allow a maximum daily generation of 10,465 megawatt hours (MWh) under certain ISO–NE emergency operating conditions from June 3, 2006, through September 30, 2006. At all other times, the upper reservoir would be operated within existing limits, and generation would be within the existing maximum limit of 8,475 MWh. The project uses the reservoir at the Turners Falls Project (FERC No. 1889) on the Connecticut River as its lower reservoir, and proposes no changes in its operating elevations. In the environmental assessment (EA), Commission staff has analyzed the probable environmental effects of the proposed amendment and has concluded that approval, with the addition of staff-recommended measures, would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. A copy of the EA is attached to the Commission order titled ‘‘Order Granting Temporary Amendment of License,’’ issued June 7, 2006, and is available at the Commission’s Public Reference Room. A copy of the EA may also be viewed on the Commission’s Web site at https://www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘elibrary’’ link.
