Comtu Falls Associates; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

January 20, 1995.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
regulations 18 CFR Part 380 (Order 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of 
Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the down stream fish passage plan for 
the Comtu Falls Project, located on the Black River, in Windsor County, 
Vermont, and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA). In 
the DEA, the Commission staff analyzed the potential impacts and 
benefits from the licensee's proposed fish passage plan, the no-action 
alternative and a Commission staff alternative. The Commission staff 
determined that either the licensee's proposed plan or staff's 
alternative would provide the intended benefits to the fish resources 
of the Black River, with the Commission staff's plan being less costly. 
The Commission staff concluded that approval of either downstream fish 
passage plan would not constitute a major Federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the DEA 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.
    Please submit any comments within 30 days from the date of this 
notice. Any comments, conclusions, or recommendations that draw upon 
studies, reports, or other working papers of substance should be 
supported by appropriate documentation.
    Comments should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street NE., Washington, 
DC 20426. Please affix Project No. 7888-006 to all comments. For 
Further information, please contact Robert Grieve at (202) 219-265.

Secretary.
