Joseph Hydro Company, Inc.; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

July 11, 1997.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) regulations, 
18 CFR Part 380 (Order 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Hydropower 
Licensing has reviewed an exemption surrender application for the Upper 
Little Sheep Creek Project, FERC No. 5573-006. Upper Little Sheep Creek 
Project is located on Big Sheep Creek, Little Sheep Creek, and the 
Wallowa Valley Improvement District irrigation canal in Wallowa County, 
Oregon. An Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared for the 
application. The EA finds that approving the application 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 Commission 
Reference and Information Center, Room 2-A, 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. Additional information can be obtained
