New York Power Authority; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

May 8, 1996.
    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 F.R. 47910), the Office of Hydropower Licensing 
(OHL) has reviewed the application for approval of change in land 
rights and removal of lands from the project boundary. New York Power 
Authority proposes to convey five land parcels totaling approximately 
670 acres to the Town of Waddington, New York, for low-density 
residential and tourism-related commercial and recreational 
development.
    The staff of OHL's Division of Project Compliance and 
Administration has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 
proposed action. In the EA, staff concludes that the licensee's 
proposal would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Reference and 
Information Center, Room 2A, of the Commission's Offices at 888 First 
Street, NE, Washington, D.C., 20426.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
