Southwestern Electric Cooperative, Inc.; Notice of Availability 
of Draft Environmental Assessment

January 17, 1997.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for major license 
for the proposed Carlyle Project located on the Kaskaskia River in 
Clinton County, near the City of Carlyle, Illinois, and has prepared a 
Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the proposed project. In the 
DEA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental 
impacts of the proposed project and has concluded that approval of the 
proposed project, with appropriate mitigative 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 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., Washington, DC 
20426. Please affix Project No. 11214-001 to all comments. For further 
information, please contact Monte J. TerHaar, Environmental Assessment 
Coordinator, at [phone].
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
