N.E.W. Hydro, Inc. City of Oconto Falls, Wisconsin; Notice of 
Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment

October 4, 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 license 
for the Oconto Falls Hydroelectric Project, located on the Oconto 
River, in the City of Oconto Falls, Oconto County, Wisconsin; and has 
prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. In the 
DEA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental 
impacts of the existing project and has concluded that approval of the 
project, with appropriate environmental protection 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, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First 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, Room 1-A, 888 First Street N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426. Please affix Oconto Falls Hydroelectric Project 
Nos. 2523 and 11496 to all comments. For further information, please 
contact Edward R. Meyer at (202) 208-7998.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
