Alabama Power Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

March 18, 1999.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR Part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47910), the Office of Hydropower Licensing 
(OHL) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for an application 
to amend the Recreation Plan and change the Project Boundary on Lake 
Martin. Alabama Power Company proposes to remove the 30-acre Tallassee 
Recreational Use Area (RUA), No. 7 from the project boundary; add 40 
acres to RUA No. 1 (West of Dadeville); and reclassify the Chapman 
Creek RUA No. 8 to Natural Undeveloped land from Recreational Use land. 
In the EA, staff concludes that approval of the licensee's proposal 
would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment. The Martin Dam Project is located on 
the Tallapoosa River in Tallapoosa, Coosa and Elmore Counties, Alabama.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA are available 
for review at the Commission's Reference and Information Center, Room 
2-A, 888 North Capitol Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426. The EA may be 
viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please 
call [phone] for assistance).
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
