[Project No. 1951–000 Georgia]

Georgia Power Company; Notice of

Availability of Draft Environmental

Assessment

January 18, 1996.

By letter to the Commission dated

November 19, 1993, Georgia Power

Company proposed to prepare and file

an environmental assessment with their

license application for the Sinclair

Hydroelectric Project, as provided for by

the Energy Policy Act of 1992.

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

applicant prepared environmental

assessment and application for major

license for the existing Sinclair

Hydroelectric Project, located on the

Oconee River, Baldwin County, Georgia,

and has prepared a Draft Environmental

Assessment (DEA) for the project. In the

DEA, the Commission’s staff has

analyzed the potential environmental

impacts of the existing project and has

concluded that approval of the project,

with appropriate mitigation 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,

Room 2–A, of the Commission’s offices

at 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC

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 NE., Room

1–A, Washington, DC 20426.

Please reference Project No. 1951–000

to all comments. For further

information, please contact Ms. Kelly

Fargo, Environmental Coordinator, at

(202) 219–0231.
