Opinion for the Court filed by Circuit Judge RANDOLPH.
RANDOLPH, Circuit Judge:
The Department of the Interior and the Environmental Protection Agency, conservation groups, 1 and the Penobscot Indian Nation petition for review of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s relicens-ing of a hydroelectric project in north-central Maine. The issues presented go mainly to the adequacy of the Commission’s consideration of the various factors governing license renewals. Because the Commission gave sufficient attention to these factors and carefully explained its conclusions, the petitions are denied.
