The electronic structure and the Fermi surfaces of the organic superconductor {kappa}-(BEDT-TTF){sub 2}Cu[N(CN){sub 2}]Br are elucidated by first-principles calculations. The results show very narrow bands, high state density at the Fermi level, and a small band effective mass of 0.28m{sub 0} for the closed hole orbit. The topological features of the Fermi surfaces with multiple sheets are more complicated than that of {kappa}-(BEDT-TTF){sub 2}Cu(NCS){sub 2}. Fermi electron distribution on the central C{double_bond}C double bond reveals the nonequivalency of the two central C atoms. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
