announcement of public scoping meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: RUS and TVA published a Notice of Intent to prepare an 
Environmental Impact Statement on alternatives for water supply 
development for the Catoosa Utility District and the upper Cumberland 
Plateau region of East Tennessee in the Federal Register on February 8, 
1995. This original notice stated comments would be received on the 
scope of the EIS on or before March 10, 1995. RUS and TVA are today 
extending that comment period until June 5, 1995, and announcing the 
location of a public scoping meeting.

DATES: Comments on the scope of the EIS must be received on or before 
June 5, 1995. A public scoping meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 
4, 1995 at 6 p.m. Central Standard Time at Glenn Martin Junior High 
School, 314 South Miller Avenue, Crossville, Cumberland County,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an EIS 
on alternatives for establishing a water supply for the Catoosa Utility 
District and the Upper Cumberland Plateau area of East Tennessee was 
published in the Federal Register on February 8, 1995. The NOI stated 
that comments would be received until March 10, 1995. It was not 
possible to hold a public meeting on the scope of the EIS during that 
timeframe, and project schedules allows for a longer public scoping 
period. Therefore, RUS and TVA are extending the EIS scoping period 
until June 5, 1995, to allow sufficient time to hold the public meeting 
and allow the interested public to comment on the suggested scope of 
the EIS alternatives and important issues.
    A public meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 4, 1995, at 6 p.m. 
Central Standard Time at Glenn Martin Junior High School, 314 South 
Miller Avenue, Crossville, Cumberland County, Tennessee. The purpose of 
this meeting will be to gain information regarding the scope of the EIS 
and the resources that may be affected by any proposed water supply 
activities. Written Comments on these issues should be mailed to the 
address noted above. Oral and additional written comments will be 
received at the public meeting.

    Dated: March 17, 1995.
Kathryn J. Jackson,
Senior Vice President, Resource Group, Tennessee Valley Authority.
