Cannelton Hydroelectric Project LP;

Notice of Availability of Final

Environmental Assessment

October 8, 1997.

A final environmental assessment

(FEA) is available for public review. The

FEA is for an application to amend the

Cannelton Hydroelectric Project. The

licensee proposes to eliminate the

powerhouse by adding 240 small

generating units that would be located

upstream of the tainter gates within the

dam’s tainter gate bays and to change

the approved transmission line. The

FEA finds that approval of the

application would not constitute a

major federal action significantly

affecting the quality of the human

environment. The Cannelton

Hydroelectric Project is located on the

Ohio River in Hancock County,

Kentucky.

The FEA was written by staff in the

Office of Hydropower Licensing,

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Copies of the FEA can be viewed in the

Public Reference Branch, Room 2A, of

the Commission’s offices at 888 First

Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.

For further information, please

contact the project manager, Ms.

Rebecca Martin, at (202) 219–2650.

[Project No. 11243–002 Alaska]

Whitewater Engineering Corporation;

Notice of Availability of Draft

Environmental Assessment

October 8, 1997.

In accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s (Commission)

regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No.

486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of

Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the

application for an original license for

the Power Creek Project, and has

prepared a Draft Environmental

Assessment (DEA) for the project. The

project is located near Cordova, Alaska.

The DEA contains the staff’s analysis of

the potential environmental impacts of

the project and has concluded that

licensing the project, with appropriate

environmental protective measures,

would not constitute a major federal

action that would significantly affect the

quality of the human environment.

Copies of the DEA are available for

review in the Public Reference Room,

Room 2A, of the Commission’s offices at

888 First Street NE., Washington, DC

20426.

Any comments should be filed within

30 days from the date of this notice and

should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell,

Commission, 888 First Street NE.,
