[Project No. 2609]

International Paper Company and

Curtis/Palmer Hydroelectric Company

L.P.; Notice of Availability of Study

Results and Request for Additional

Studies

January 28, 1997.

International Paper Company and

Curtis/Palmer Hydroelectric Company

L.P. are currently engaged in the process

of obtaining from the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (Commission) a

new operating license for the Curtis/

Palmer Falls Hydroelectric Project

(FERC No. 2609). The current license for

the project is due to expire on April 30,

2000. The project is located on the

Hudson River in the Village of Corinth

and the Towns of Corinth, Lake Luzerne

and Hadley, in Saratoga County, New

York. Under the Commission’s

regulations, an application for licensing

for the project must be filed by April 30,

1998. International Paper Company is

managing relicensing activities in

cooperation with a team of state and

federal resources agencies, conservation

groups and local governments (the

Cooperative Team).

Pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of

1992 and the Commission’s regulations,

Curtis/Palmer Hydroelectric Company

L.P. and International Paper Company

intend to prepare a Draft Environmental

Assessment (DEA) as part of the license

application, to be filed with the

Commission for the project. Public

scoping meetings were held on January

10, 1996 and February 8, 1996 to

identify the scope of environmental

issues that should be analyzed in the

DEA.

Based on information contained in

Scoping Document 1 and comments

received from resources agencies and

other interested parties during the

scoping meetings and comment period,

the Cooperative Team prepared study

plans to address issues raised during the

scoping process and published them in

Scoping Document 2. Study plans were

subsequently finalized and studies were

undertaken throughout the spring,

summer, and fall of 1996. The majority

of the study reports have been

completed and organized as Volume I

Reports. During the period from January

31, 1997 until March 3, 1997, these

Volume I Reports will be available for

public review at the International Paper

Administration Building at the Hudson

River Mill on Pine Street in Corinth,

New York. The Volume I Reports will

also be available in the Corinth Town

Office and in the Commission’s Public

Reference Room at 888 1st Street NE. in

Washington, DC. The public is invited

to review these documents and to file

comments on the adequacy of these

studies in addressing issues raised

during scoping. Comments on these

studies and requests for any additional

studies are due by March 3, 1997.

Because Section 4.32(b)(7) of the

Commission’s regulations has been

previously waived, we are requesting

that if any resource agency, Indian tribe,

or person believes that an additional

scientific study should be conducted in

order to form an adequate factual basis

for a complete analysis of the project on

its merit, the resource agency, Indian

tribe, or person must file a request for

a study with the Secretary of the

Commission at 888 First Street, NE.,

Washington, DC 20426 by March 3,

1997 and serve a copy of the request on

Mr. Robert McK. Hunziker, International

Paper Company, Two Manhattanville

Road, Purchase, NY 10577 and Mr.

Andrew Sims, Kleinschmidt Associates,

75 Main Street, Pittsfield, ME 04967.

Any comments or recommendations for

further study should be supported by

appropriate documentation.

The remaining reports (Volume II)

will be made available for review and

comment between approximately April

15, 1997 and May 15, 1997 at the same

locations. Comments and requests for

additional studies on the Volume II

Reports will be due by approximately

May 15, 1997. A separate public notice

will be published specifying the exact

due date for comments and additional

study requests on Volume II.

Secretary.
