Becoming an Intervenor

In addition to involvement in the EA

scoping process, you may want to

become an official party to the

proceeding or become an ‘‘intervenor.’’

Among other things, intervenors have

the right to receive copies of caserelated Commission documents and

filings by other intervenors. Likewise,

each intervenor must provide copies of

its filings to all other parties. If you

want to become an intervenor you must

file a motion to intervene according to

Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.214) (see appendix 2).

You do not need intervenor status to

have your scoping comments

considered.

Summit Hydropower; Notice of

Availability of Draft Environmental

Assessment

March 10, 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 minor license for the

proposed Hale Project located on the

Quinebaug River in the Town of

Putnam, Windham County, Connecticut,

and has prepared a Draft Environmental

Assessment (DEA) for the proposed

project. In the DEA, the Commission’s

staff has analyzed the potential

environmental impacts of the proposed

project and has concluded that approval

of the proposed project, with

appropriate mitigative measures, would

not constitute a major federal action

significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment.

Copies of the DEA are available for

review in the Public Reference Branch

of the Commission’s offices at 888 First

Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20426.

Comments should be filed within 30

days from the date of this notice and

should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,

Washington, D.C. 20426. Please affix

Project No. 11547–000 to all comments.

For further information, please contact

Rainer Feller, Environmental

Assessment Coordinator, at (202) 219–

2796.
