[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 106 (Tuesday, June 3, 1997)] [Notices] [Page 30322] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-14369] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 2523-007; Project No. 11496-000] N.E.W. Hydro, Inc. City of Oconto Falls, Wisconsin; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment May 28, 1997. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) Regulations, 18 CFR 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the applications for a new license for the Oconto Falls Hydroelectric Project, located on the Oconto River, in Oconto County, Wisconsin; and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. In the EA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental impacts of the existing project and has concluded that approval of the project, with appropriate environmental protection measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street N.E., Washington, DC 20426. For further information, please contact Edward R. Meyer at (202) 208-7998. Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting Secretary. [FR Doc. 97-14369 Filed 6-2-97; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-M
