[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 237 (Monday, December 9, 1996)] [Notices] [Page 64876] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-31183] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY [Project No. 11291-001 Indiana] Star Mill, Inc.; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment December 3, 1996. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for an original license for the Star Milling and Electric Minor Water Power Project (project) and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. The project is located on the Fawn River near the town of Howe, in northeastern Indiana. In the DEA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the existing and potential future environmental impacts of the project and has concluded that licensing the project, with appropriate environmental protection or enhancement measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the human environment. Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Public Reference Branch, Room 2A, 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 Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. Please affix Project No. 11291-001 to all comments. For further information, contact Nicholas Jayjack, Environmental Coordinator, at (202) 219-2825. Lois D. Cashell, Secretary.
