Star Mill, Inc.; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental 
Assessment

December 3, 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 
license for the Star Milling and Electric Minor Water Power Project 
(project) and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for 
the project. The project is located on the Fawn River near the town of 
Howe, in northeastern Indiana.
    In the DEA, 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 protection 
or enhancement measures, would not constitute a major federal action 
that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the DEA 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.
    Any comments should be filed within 45 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. Please 
affix Project No. 11291-001 to all comments. For further information, 
contact Nicholas Jayjack, Environmental Coordinator, at [phone].
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
