Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

October 23, 1995.
    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 FR 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for a new license 
for the Beaver River Project located in Herkimer and Lewis Counties, 
New York, 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 environmental 
protection or enhancement 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 3104, of the Commission's offices at 941 North Capitol 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 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 NE., Washington, DC 
20426. Please affix ``Beaver River Project'' to all comments. For 
further information, please contact Tom Camp at [phone].
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
