Continental Hydro Corporation; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

September 27, 1996.
    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 F.R. 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for an original, 
major license for the Tiber Dam Hydroelectric Project (project), and 
has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. The 
project is located at the Bureau of Reclamation's existing Tiber Dam 
and Lake Elwell, on the Marias River in Liberty County, Montana.
    In the final EA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the existing 
and potential future environmental impacts of the project and has 
concluded that licensing the project, with appropriate environmental 
protective or enhancement measures, would not constitute a major 
federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
