N.E.W. Hydro, Inc. City of Oconto Falls, Wisconsin; Notice of 
Availability of Environmental Assessment

May 28, 1997.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
Regulations, 18 CFR 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of 
Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the applications for a new license 
for the Oconto Falls Hydroelectric Project, located on the Oconto 
River, in Oconto County, Wisconsin; and has prepared an Environmental 
Assessment (EA) for the project. In the EA, 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 EA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street N.E., 
Washington, DC 20426. For further information, please contact Edward R. 
Meyer at [phone].
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
