Allegheny Hydro No. 8 and 9 Limited Partnership and Connecticut 
National Bank; Notice of Availability of Final Environmental Assessment

August 20, 1999.
    A final environmental assessment (EA) is available for public 
review. The final EA analyzes the environmental impacts of installing 
15-inch flashboards on the top of Lock and Dam 9, part of the Allegheny 
River Lock and Dam 8 and 9 Hydroelectric Project No. 3021-048. The 
Commission is requiring flashboards, from about May 1 through October 
31 each year, to rectify project-induced lower water levels in the Lock 
9 pool. The final EA contains Commissions staff's analysis that 15-inch 
flashboards are needed and installation would not constitute a major 
federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment. The Allegheny River Lock and Dam 8 and 9 Project is on the 
Allegheny River near the City of Kittanning, in Armstrong County, 
Pennsylvania.
    The final EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower 
Licensing, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the final EA 
are available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's 
Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE, Room 2A, 
Washington, D.C. 20426, or by calling [phone]. The final EA may 
be viewed on the web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims/htm. Call (202) 
208-2222 for assistance.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
