William B. Ruger, Jr.; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

June 27, 1996.
    A final environmental assessment (FEA) is available for public 
review. The FEA reviewed the application for amendment for the Sugar 
River II Project (FERC No. 10934). The application proposes to shorten 
the bypass reach of the Sugar River by 650 feet by relocating the 
proposed dam in a downstream direction and replacing an open canal with 
a seven-foot-diameter buried steel penstock. The FEA finds that 
approval of the amendment application would not constitute a major 
federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment. The Sugar River II Project is located on the Sugar River, 
in Sullivan County, in Newport, New Hampshire.
    The FEA was prepared by staff in the Office of Hydropower 
Licensing, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the FEA can 
be viewed at the Commission's Reference and Information Center, Room 
2A, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. Copies can also be 
obtained by calling the project manager, Mr. Joseph C. Adamson at (202) 
219-1040.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
