Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, Beebee Island Corporation; 
Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment

March 18, 1996.
    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 a new 
licenses for the Black River and Beebee Island Projects located in 
Jefferson County, New York, and has prepared a Draft Environmental 
Assessment (DEA) for the projects. In the DEA, the Commission's staff 
has analyzed the potential environmental impacts of the existing 
projects and has concluded that approval of the projects, with 
appropriate environmental protection or 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,
