[Project No. 2438–007 New York]

Seneca Falls Power Corporation;

Notice of Availability of Final

Environmental Assessment

February 13, 1997.

In accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s (Commission’s)

regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No.

486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office of

Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the

application for license for the Waterloo

and Seneca Falls Hydroelectric Project,

located in Seneca, Yates, Schuyler, and

Ontario Counties, New York, and has

prepared a Final Environmental

Assessment (FEA) for the project. In the

FEA, the Commission’s staff has

analyzed the potential environmental

impacts of relicensing the existing

project and has concluded that approval

of the project, with appropriate

environmental protection measures,

would not constitute a major federal

action significantly affecting the quality

of the human environment.

Copies of the FEA are available for

review in the Public Reference Branch,

Room 2–A, of the Commission’s offices

at 888 First Street, N.E., Washington,

Objectives

At the scoping meetings, the staff will:

(1) summarize the environmental issues

tentatively identified for analysis in the

planned EA; (2) solicit from the meeting

participants all available information,

especially quantifiable data, on the

resources at issue; (3) encourage

statements from experts and the public

on issues that should be analyzed in the

EA, including viewpoints in opposition

to, or in support of, the staff’s

preliminary views; (4) determine the

relative depth of analysis for issues to be

addressed in the EA; and (5) identify

resource issues that are of lesser

importance, and, therefore, do not

require detailed analysis.

Procedures

The meetings will be recorded by a

stenographer and will become part of

the formal record of the Commission

proceeding on the projects under

consideration. Individuals presenting

statements at the meetings will be asked

to sign in before the meeting starts and

to clearly identify themselves for the

record. Speaking time for attendees at

the evening meetings will be

determined before the meeting, based on

the number of persons wishing to speak

and the approximate amount of time

available for the session. All speakers

will be provided at least 5 minutes to

present their views.

Individuals, organizations, and

agencies with environmental expertise

and concerns are encouraged to attend

the meetings and to assist the staff in

defining and clarifying the issues to be

addressed in the EA.

Persons choosing not to speak at the

meetings, but who have views on the

issues, may submit written statements

for inclusion in the public record at the

meeting. In addition, written scoping

comments may be field with the

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,

Washington, DC 20426. All such filings

should conform with the requirements

outlined in detail in Scoping Document
