Appalachian Power Company; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

August 27, 1996.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA is for an application to amend the license for the Smith 
Mountain Hydroelectric Project. The application is to: (1) Make an 
administrative correction to the project's licensed installed capacity; 
and (2) upgrade two turbine runners at the project's Smith Mountain 
Powerhouse. The EA finds that approval of the application would not 
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment. The Smith Mountain Hydroelectric Project is 
located on the Roanoke River in Bedford, Franklin, Pittsylvania, 
Cambell, and Roanoke Counties, Virginia.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA can be viewed at 
the Commission's Reference and Information Center, Room 2A, 888 First 
Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. Copies can also be obtained by 
calling the project manager, John Mudre, at (202) 219-1208.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
