Portland General Electric Company, Smurfit Newsprint Corporation, 
Simpson Paper Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

November 12, 1996.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA is an application for an amendment of license for the Willamette 
Falls Project. The amendment of license application concerns the 
closure of six authorized hydropower units of the project's Simpson 
development by sealing the units with concrete plugs and steel plates. 
The EA finds that approval of the application would not constitute a 
major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment. The Willamette Falls Project is located on the Willamette 
River in West Linn and Oregon City, Oregon.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA are available 
for review at the Commission's Reference and Information Center, Room 
2-A, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20426. Copies can also be 
obtained by calling the project manager, Jon Cofrancesco at (202) 219-
0079.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
