Green Mountain Power Corporation; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

August 13, 1998.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Regulations, 18 CFR Part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Hydropower Licensing 
has reviewed the application for a new license for the existing 
Vergennes Hydroelectric Project, located in the city of Vergennes, 
Addison County, Vermont, and has prepared a Draft Environmental 
Assessment (DEA) for the project. 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, as proposed 
with additional staff-recommended measures, would not constitute a 
major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    Copies of the DEA are 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.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Room 1-A, 
Washington, D.C. 20426. Please affix ``Vergennes Hydroelectric Project 
No. 2674'' to the top page of all comments. For further information, 
please contact Lee Emery at [phone].
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
