Upper Peninsula Power Company; 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 F.R. 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for an original 
license for the Au Train Hydroelectric Project, located near the towns 
of Au Train and Munising, Michigan in Alger County, 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 un-licensed, existing project and has concluded that approval of 
the project, with appropriate environmental protection or enhancement 
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 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 Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426. Please affix ``Au Train Hydroelectric Project No. 10856'' to all 
comments. For further information, please contact John Blair at (202) 
219-2845.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
