Crystal Springs Hydroelectric Limited Partnership; Notice of 
Availability of Environmental Assessment

September 10, 1996.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The DEA reviews an application to amend the license for the Cedar Draw 
Creek Project located on Cedar Draw Creek in Twin Falls County, Idaho. 
The license would be amended to: (1) allow the replacement of Unit No. 
3 turbine with a new turbine which would reduce the project's total 
installed capacity from 2,914 kW to 2,878 kW; (2) reduce the minimum 
flow requirement from 25 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 10 cfs; and (3) 
replace \1/4\ inch screens with \3/8\ inch screens. The EA concluded 
that approving the installation of the variable flow turbine, reduction 
of the minimum flow requirement and increasing the mesh size of the 
fish screens would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA can be obtained 
by calling the Commission's Public Reference Room at [phone].

Secretary.
