Take notice that on December 22,

1995, Niagara Mohawk Power

Corporation (Niagara Mohawk) filed a

petition under the Public Utility

Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, section

210(h)(2)(B). In this Petition, Niagara

Mohawk asks the Commission to bring

an enforcement action against the Public

Service Commission of the State of New

York (PSC) to bar the PSC from

enforcing 1991 New York Sessions laws

ch. 166, section 149–B, insofar as that

New York statute purports to require

utilities including Niagara Mohawk to

reimburse PURPA-qualifying facilities

(Qfs) for certain gas tax payments.

Niagara Mohawk contends that the New

York tax reimbursement statute is

preempted by PURPA because it

purports to require utilities to pay Qfs

in excess of avoided costs, and because

it employs a cost-of-service

methodology rather than the avoided

cost methodology that PURPA requires

in setting the rates that utilities must

pay to Qfs.

Niagara Mohawk has served a copy of

the filing on the PSC.

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
