Indiana Michigan Power Company; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

February 22, 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 No. [[Page 10842]] 486, 52 FR 
47897), the Office of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the 
applications for new license for two existing licensed hydropower 
projects on the St. Joseph River owned and operated by the Indiana 
Michigan Power Company: the Buchanan Project, No. 2551, located in 
Berrien County, Michigan; and the Twin Branch Project, No. 2579, 
located in St. Joseph County, Indiana. Subsequently, the Commission's 
staff prepared one Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) that discusses 
the relicensing of the two projects.
    In the DEA, staff evaluates the potential environmental impacts 
that would result from the continued operation of the projects. Staff 
concludes that relicensing the projects with appropriate enhancement 
measures 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.
    Any comments should be filed within 45 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix Project Nos. 2551 and 2579 to the 
first page of all comments.
    For further information, please contact Jim Haimes, Environmental 
Coordinator, at (202) 219-2780.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
