Duke Power Company, Notice of

Availability of Draft Environmental

Assessment

June 25, 1998.

A draft environmental assessment

(EA) is available for public review. The

draft EA analyzes the environmental

impacts of allowing Duke Power

Company, licensee for the CatawbaWateree Project, P–2232–334, to

authorize the Charlotte-Mecklenburg

Utility District to construct additional

facilities at the Catawba River Pumping

Station to increase the water withdrawal

from Mountain Island Lake for

municipal water supply. The EA

concludes the proposed action would

not constitute a major federal action

significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment. The CatawbaWateree Project is on the Catawba and

Wateree rivers in North and South

Carolina.

the draft EA was written by staff in

the Office of Hydropower Licensing,

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Project No. 11508–001]

Alaska Power and Telephone

Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare

an Environmental Assessment and

Conduct Public Scoping Meetings and

a Site Visit

June 25, 1998.

The Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (Commission) has received

an application from the Alaska Power

and Telephone Company (AP&T) to

license the Wolf Lake Hydroelectric

Project, Project No. 11508–001. The

proposed 2.2-megawatt project would be

located on the east side of Prince of

Wales Island along Twelvemile Arm,

near Hollis, Alaska.

The Commission intends to prepare

an Environmental Assessment (EA) for

the project in accordance with the

National Environmental Policy Act. In

the EA, we will objectively analyze both

site-specific and cumulative

environmental impacts of the project,

and reasonable alternatives as proposed

by AP&T, as well as, economic and

engineering impacts.

The draft EA will be issued and

circulated to those on the mailing lists

for this project. All comments filed on

the draft EA will be analyzed by the

staff and considered in a final EA. The

staff’s conclusions and

recommendations presented in the final

EA will then be presented to the

Commission to assist in making a

licensing decision.

Scoping

At this time, we are asking agencies,

native Alaskans, non-governmental

organizations, and individuals to help

us identify the scope of environmental

issues that should be analyzed in the

EA, and to provide us with information

that may be useful in preparing the EA.

To help focus comments on the

environmental issues, a scoping

document outlining subject areas to be

addressed in the EA will soon be mailed

to those on the mailing list for the

project. Those not on the mailing list

may request a copy of the scoping

document from the project coordinator,

whose telephone number is listed

below. Copies of the scoping document

will also be available at the scoping

meetings.

Scoping Meetings

Two scoping meetings will be held to

hear comments on the project that could

assist FERC staff in identifying the
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 126 /Wednesday, July 1, 1998 / Notices 35925

scope of environmental issues that

should be analyzed in the EA. A public

meeting will be held at 6:30 PM on

Wednesday, July 29, 1998, at the Hollis

Public Library, in Hollis, Alaska. The

agency scoping meeting will be held at

1:30 PM on Thursday, July 30, 1998, at

the State Capitol Building, Governor’s

Conference Room, 3rd Floor, corner of

4th and Main Streets, Juneau, Alaska.

The public and the agencies may attend

either or both meetings, however.

Objectives

At the scoping meetings the staff will:

(1) identify preliminary environmental

issues related to the proposed project:

(2) identify preliminary resource issues

that are not important and do not

require detailed analysis; (3) identify

reasonable alternatives to be addressed

in the EA; (4) solicit from the meeting

participants all available information,

especially quantified data, on the

resource issues; and (5) encourage

statements from experts and the public

on issues that should be analyzed in the

EA, including points of view in

opposition to, or in support of, the

staff’s preliminary views.

Procedures

The scoping meetings will be

recorded by a court reporter, and all

statements will become part of the

Commission’s public record for the

project. Individuals, organizations, and

agencies with environmental expertise

and concerns are encouraged to attend

the meetings and assist the staff in

defining and clarifying and issues to be

addressed in the EA.

Persons choosing not to speak at the

meetings, but who have views on the

issues or information relevant to the

issues, may submit written statements

for inclusion in the public record at the

meetings. All written correspondence

should clearly show the following

caption on the first page: Wolf Lake

Hydroelectric Project, FERC Project No.

11508–001. Comments and information

are due to the Commission no later than

August 31, 1998.

Those with comments or information

pertaining to this project should file it

with the Commission at the following

address: David P. Boergers, Acting

Secretary, Office of the Secretary,

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC

20426.

Intervenors—those on the

Commission’s service list for this

proceeding (parties)—are reminded of

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure, requiring parties filing

documents with the Commission, to

serve a copy of the document on each

person whose name appears on the

official service list. Further, if a party or

interceder files comments or documents

with the Commission relating to the

merits of an issue that may affect the

responsibilities of a particular resource

agency, they must also serve a copy of

the document on that resource agency.

Site Visit

There will be a tour of the proposed

project site on Tuesday, July 28, 1998,

to familiarize concerned individuals

with the project. Because of the absence

of road access at the proposed project

site, transportation to the project site

would be via helicopter from a location

to be identified in Hollis. Those

interested in going on the site visit

should call the AP&T contact, Mr. Greg

Mickelson at (907) 826–3202 by July 21,

1998, for details. The trip is expected to

last several hours. In the event of

inclement weather or if we are unable

to get to the proposed site on the

scheduled date, the alternate site visit

would be on Wednesday, July 29, 1998,

at the same meeting place and time as

the preferred scheduled visit.

Any questions regarding this notice

maybe directed to Mr. Carl Keller at

FERC, (202) 219–2831.

Acting Secetary.

U.S.C. 2000 et seq.) cars and light

trucks). EPA reviews vehicle

information and test data to verify that

the vehicle conforms to appropriate

requirements and to verify that the

proper testing has been performed.

Subsequent audit and enforcement

actions may be taken based, in part, on

the information submitted. Information

submitted is not available to the public

until the vehicle(s) to which it pertains

is offered for sale; after that time trade

secrets qualify for confidential

treatment; 42 U.S.C. 7542. An agency

estimated to average 13,831 hours per

response. Burden means the total time,

effort, or financial resources expended

by persons to generate, maintain, retain,

or disclose or provide information to or

for a Federal agency. This includes the

time needed to review instructions;

develop, acquire, install, and utilize

technology and systems for the purposes

of collecting, validating, and verifying
