John H. Bigelow; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental 
Assessment

July 10, 1998.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for a new license 
for the existing McKenzie Project, and has prepared a Draft 
Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. The project is located 
on the McKenzie River, in Lane County, Oregon. The DEA contains the 
staff's analysis of the potential environmental impacts of the project 
and has concluded that licensing the project, with appropriate 
environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal 
action that would significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment.
    Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Room, 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 David P. Boergers, Acting Secretary, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426. For further information, contact Gaylord W. 
Hoisington, Project Coordinator, at [phone].
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
