Upper Peninsula Power Company; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

April 9, 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 Cataract Hydroelectric Project, located on the Middle 
Branch Escanaba River, near the City of Gwinn, Marquette County, 
Michigan; 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 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 2-A, 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 Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, Room 1-A, 888 First Street N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426. Please affix ``Cataract Hydroelectric Project 
No. 10854'' to all comments. For further information, please contact 
James Hunter at [phone].
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
