Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 132 / Tuesday, July 9, 1996 / Notices 36053

Our independent analysis of the

issues will be in the EA. Depending on

the comments received during the

scoping process, the EA may be

published and mailed to Federal, state,

and local agencies, public interest

groups, interested individuals, affected

landowners, newspapers, libraries, and

the Commission’s official service list for

this proceeding. A comment period will

be allotted for review if the EA is

published. We will consider all

comments on the EA before we

recommend that the Commission

approve or not approve the project.

Currently Identified Environmental

Issues

We have already identified several

issues that we think deserve attention

based on a preliminary review of the

proposed facilities and the

environmental information provided by

KN. This preliminary list of issues may

be changed based on your comments

and our analysis.

• Nine federally listed endangered

and threatened species and two

candidate species may be present in the

project area.

• Four perennial waterbodies would

be crossed by the proposed facilities,

including the North Platte River in

Wyoming.

• The site of the proposed North

Platte River crossing is adjacent to the

Brookhurst Superfund site near Casper,

Wyoming.

Also, we have made a preliminary

decision to not address the impacts of

the nonjurisdictional KN Energy

facilities discussed on page 2. We will

briefly describe their location and status

in the EA.

Public Participation

You can make a difference by sending

a letter addressing your specific

comments or concerns about the project.

You should focus on the potential

environmental effects of the proposal,

alternatives to the proposal including

alternative routes), and measures to

avoid or lessen environmental impact.

The more specific your comments, the

more useful they will be. Please follow

the instructions below to ensure that

your comments are received and

properly recorded:

• Address your letter to: Lois Cashell,

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First St., N.E.,

Washington, DC 20426;

• Reference Docket No. CP96–477–

000;

• Send a copy of your letter to: Ms.

Elizabeth J. Secrest, EA Project Manager,

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First St., NE., PR–11.1, Washington,

DC 20426; and

• Mail your comments so that they

will be received in Washington, DC, on

or before August 1, 1996.

If you wish to receive a copy of the

EA, you should request one from Ms.

Secrest at the above address.

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).

The date for filing timely motions to

intervene in this proceeding has passed.

Therefore, parties now seeking to file

late interventions must show good

cause, as required by section

385.214(b)(3), why this time limitation

should be waived. Environmental issues

have been viewed as good cause for late

intervention. You do not need

intervenor status to have your scoping

comments considered.

Additional information about the

proposed project is available from Ms.

Elizabeth J. Secrest, EA Project Manager,

at (202) 208–0918.

Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation;

Notice of Availability of Final

Environmental Assessment

July 2, 1996.

A final environmental assessment

(FEA) is available for public review. The

FEA was prepared for an application

filed by Niagara Mohawk Power

Corporation (licensee) to remove

polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from

lands within the boundary of the

Hudson River Hydroelectric Project. The

licensee proposes to remove PCBs at the

Queensbury site in accordance with a

record of decision issued March 1995 by

the New York State Department of

Environmental Conservation. In

summary, the licensee proposes to

excavate and remove all surface soil (1

foot from surface) on the upland portion

of the site with total PCB concentrations

in excess of 1 ppm and subsurface soil

with concentrations in excess of 10

ppm. Further, the licensee proposes to

excavate and remove to a depth of 2 feet

near-shore river sediments. The

Queensbury site is located on Corinth

Road, Town of Queensbury, Warren

County, New York, on the north bank of

the Hudson River, about 5 miles west of

Glens Falls, New York.

The FEA finds that the licensee’s

remediation plan is not a major federal

action significantly affecting the quality

of the human environment. The FEA

was written by staff in the Office of

Hydropower Licensing, Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission. Copies of the

FEA can be obtained by calling the

Commission’s Public Reference Room at

(202) 208–1371.

The settlement would require the

Society to clean the Mill, to use the Mill

in a manner consistent with the goals of

the Society, as stated in the Agreement,

and to provide EPA access to the Mill.

For thirty (30) days following the date

of publication of this notice, the Agency

will receive written comments relating
