Grand River Dam Authority; Notice of

Availability of Environmental

Assessment

February 26, 1997.

In accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR Part

380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47910), the

Office of Hydropower Licensing (OHL)

reviewed the application for non-project

use of project lands for the Pensacola

Hydroelectric Project. The application

proposes to excavate approximately

15,000 to 20,000 cubic yards of

shoreline and lake bottom material from

the Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees, in

Delaware County, Oklahoma, in order to

raise the applicant’s property and access

road to elevation 757 feet Pensacola

Datum to prevent flooding and retain

access to the site during high water. The

staff prepared an Environmental

Assessment (EA) for the action. In the

EA, staff concludes that approval of the

non-project use of project lands would

not constitute a major federal action

significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment.

Copies of the EA are available for

review in the Reference and Information

Center, Room 1A, of the Commission’s

offices at 888 First Street, NE.,

Washington, DC 20426.

BILLING CODE 6717–01–M

Southeastern Power Aministration

Intent To Formulate Revised Power

Marketing Policy Cumberland System

of Projects

AGENCY: Southeastern Power

Administration, DOE.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to its Procedure for

Public Participation in the Formulation

of Marketing Policy published in the

Federal Register of July 6, 1978,

Southeastern intends to revise its

marketing policy for future disposition

of power from its Cumberland System of

Projects.

The current power marketing policy

published on August 5, 1993, for the

Southeastern Power Administration’s

(Southeastern) Cumberland System is

reflected in contracts for the sale of

system power which are maintained in

Southeastern’s headquarter’s offices.

Proposals and recommendations for

consideration in formulating the

proposed revised marketing policy are

solicited, as are requests for further

information or consultation.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Comments must be

submitted on or before April 3, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Five copies of written

proposals or recommendations should

be submitted to the Administrator,

Southeastern Power Administration,

Elberton, Georgia 30635, (706) 213–

3800.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Charles A. Borchardt, Administrator,

Southeastern Power Administration,

Elberton, Georgia 30635, (706) 213–

3800.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A ‘‘Final

Power Marketing Policy for the

Cumberland System of Projects’’ was

developed and published in the Federal

Register on August 5, 1993, 58 FR 41762

by Southeastern. Transmission contracts

under this policy with Tennessee Valley

Authority (TVA) and Carolina Power &

Light (CP&L) are in the process of

renegotiation. A contract with Kentucky

Utilities Company (KU) for power

allocated to municipal preference

customers in the KU area was executed

December 31, 1996. The Cumberland

System consists of Barkley, Center Hill,

Cheatham, Cordell Hull, Dale Hollow,

Laurel, Old Hickory, J. Percy Priest, and

Wolf Creek projects. The power from the

projects is currently marketed to

Preference Customers located in the

service areas of TVA, Big Rivers Electric

Corporation, CP&L (Western Division),

East Kentucky Power Cooperative, KU,

Municipal Energy Agency of

Mississippi, the seven cooperative

members of South Mississippi Electric

Power Association currently receiving

Cumberland power, and Southern

Illinois Power Cooperative. The policy

establishes the marketing area for

system power and deals with the

allocation of power among or for the

benefit of area customers. It also deals

with utilization of area utility systems

for essential purposes, wholesale rates,

resale rates, and energy and economic

efficiency measures.

Under Section 5 of the Flood Control

Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C. 825s),

Southeastern is responsible for the

transmission and disposition of electric

power and energy from reservoir

projects operated by the Department of

Army. Southeastern has negotiated

transmission contracts with area

utilities described previously under this

authority. To pay the transmission fees

under these contracts to area utilities

Southeastern must obtain an

appropriation each year in a budget

approved by Congress and the

President. Because of budget
