[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 188 (Tuesday, September 29, 1998)] [Notices] [Page 51914] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-25941] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 2628-047 Alabama] Alabama Power Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment September 23, 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 47910), the Office of Hydropower Licensing (OHL) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for an application to amend the exhibit-R Recreation Plan and Change of Project Boundary on Lake Harris, the project reservoir. Alabama Power Company (licensee) proposes to increase recreational and hunting lands, permit access to currently restricted land, reduce natural undeveloped land, and remove residential lands from the project. In the EA, staff concludes that approval of the licensee's proposal would not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The Harris Project is located on the Tallapoosa River in Clay, Cleburne and Randolph Counties, Alabama. The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA are available for review at the Commission's Reference and Information Center, Room 2-A, 888 North Capitol, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. David P. Boergers, Secretary.
