City of Abbeville; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental 
Assessment

January 15, 1997.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and

[[Page 3283]]

the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) regulations, 
18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Hydropower 
Licensing has reviewed the application for relicensing the Abbeville 
Hydroelectric Project, located in Abbeville and Anderson Counties, 
South Carolina, 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 licensing the existing project and 
has concluded that issuing a license for the project, with appropriate 
environmental projection 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, 
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.
    Any 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., Room 1-A, 
Washington, D.C. 20426. Please affix ``Abbeville Hydroelectric Project 
No. 11286'' to all comments. For further information, please contact 
Frank Karwoski at [phone].
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
