Central Vermont Public Service Corp.; Notice of Availability of 
Draft Environmental Assessment

September 30, 1996.
    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 an original 
license for the Carver Falls Hydroelectric Project located on the 
Poultney River in Washington County, New York, and Rutland County, 
Vermont, 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, unlicensed 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 
and Files Maintenance Branch of the Commission's offices at 888 First 
Street, NE., Washington, D.C. 20426.
    Any comments should be filed within 45 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, D.C. 
20426. Please affix ``Carver Falls Hydroelectric Project, No. 11475-
000'' to all comments. For further information, please contact Jim 
Haimes at [phone].
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
