Wisconsin Electric Power Company; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

August 30, 1995.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for major new 
license for the existing Brule Hydroelectric Project located on the 
Brule River in Iron County, Michigan and Florence County, Wisconsin, 
near Crystal Falls, Wisconsin, and has prepared a final Environmental 
Assessment (EA) for the existing project. In the EA, the Commission's 
staff has analyzed the potential environmental effects of the existing 
project and has concluded that approval of the project, with 
appropriate enhancement measures, would not constitute a major Federal 
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    On June 29, 1994, a draft EA was issued and distributed to all 
parties, and comments were requested on the draft EA to be filed within 
45 days. All comments have been considered in this final EA.
    Copies of the final EA are available for review in the Public 
Reference Branch, Room 3104 of the Commission's offices at 941 North 
Capitol Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
