N.E.W. Hydro, Inc.; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental 
Assessment

May 24, 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 a new license 
for the Weyauwega Hydroelectric Project, located on the Waupaca River, 
in the City of Weyauwega, Waupaca County, Wisconsin; 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 ``Weyauwega Hydroelectric Project 
No. 2550'' to all comments. For further information, please contact 
James Hunter at [phone].
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
