DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2385-002 New York]
Finch, Pruyn and Company, Inc.; Notice Extending Time To Comment
on Draft Environmental Assessment
June 24, 1999.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued a Draft
Environmental Assessment (DEA) on May 7, 1999, considering issuance of
a new license for the Glens Falls Hydroelectric Project, located on the
Hudson River in Warren and Saratoga Counties, New York, 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). 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.
In response to a letter filed on June 7, 1999, by the Fish and
Wildlife Service, requesting an extension of time to complete its
review of the DEA, I am extending the DEA comment period until July 9,
1999.
Copies of the DEA will remain 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.
Anyone wishing to comment in writing on the DEA must do so no later
than July 9, 1999. Comments should be addressed to: David P. Boergers,
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street,
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. Please affix on the first page the
caption ``Glens Falls Project No. 2385-002'' to all comments and
letters.

Acting Secretary.
