Ordell O. and Rita A. Portwood; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

April 5, 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 486, 52 FR 47897), the Commission's 
Office of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed an exemption surrender 
application for the Old Oak Ranch Project, No. 6136-006. The Old Oak 
Ranch Project is located on the North Fork of the Tule River in Tulare 
County, California. The exemptees are applying for a surrender of the 
exemption because they are unable to keep the project operating and 
have not been able to find a buyer. An Environmental Assessment (EA) 
was prepared for the application. The EA finds that approving the 
application would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Commission's 
Reference and Information Center, Room 1C-1, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
    Please submit any comments within 20 days from the date of this 
notice. Any comments, conclusions, or recommendations that draw upon 
studies, reports or other working papers of substance should be 
supported by appropriate documentation.
    Comments should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Please 
affix Project No. 6136-006 to all comments. For further information, 
please contact the project manager, Ms. Hillary Berlin, at (202) 219-
0038.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
