South Carolina Electric & Gas Company, et al.; Availability of 
Draft Environmental Assessment

April 11, 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 applications for new licenses 
for the following three existing hydroelectric Projects, all of which 
are located on the Broad River: (1) The Neal Shoals Project (No. 2315-
002), located in Chester and Union County, South Carolina, near 
Carlisle, SC; (2) the Ninety-Nine Islands Project (No. 2331-002), 
located in Cherokee County, South Carolina near Gaffney, SC; and (3) 
the Gaston Shoals Project (No. 2332-003), located in Cherokee County, 
South Carolina and Cleveland County, North Carolina, near 
[[Page 19249]] Gaffney, SC. The Commission has prepared a Draft 
Multiple Project Environmental Assessment (Draft EA) covering all three 
projects. In the Draft EA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the 
existing and potential future environmental impacts of the projects and 
has concluded that licensing the projects, with appropriate 
environmental protective or enhancement measures, would not constitute 
a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of 
the human environment.
    Copies of the Draft EA are available for review in the Public 
Reference Branch, Room 3104, of the Commission's offices at 941 North 
Capitol Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 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, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426. For further information, contact Tim Looney, 
Environmental Coordinator, at (202) 219-2852.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
