DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2275-001]


Public Service Company of Colorado; Notice of Availability of 
Draft Environmental Assessment

April 7, 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. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for a new license 
for the existing Salida Hydroelectric Project, located on the South 
Arkansas River and on Fooses Creek in Chaffee County, Colorado, near 
Poncha Springs. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the U.S. 
Forest Service have prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for 
the relicense proposal.
    In the DEA, the staff has analyzed the environmental impacts of the 
project and has concluded that relicensing the project, with 
appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major 
federal action that would significantly affect 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 No. 275-001 to all comments. 
For further information, please contact Vince Yearick, Environmental 
Coordinator, at (202) 219-3073.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
