Sayles Hydro Associates; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

January 2, 1997.
    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 application to surrender 
the license for the Sayles Flat Hydroelectric Project, No. 3195-068. 
The Sayles Flat Project is located on the South Fork American River in 
El Dorado County, California. A Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) 
was prepared for the surrender request. The DEA finds that approving 
the plan would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    The DEA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the DEA can be viewed 
in the Public Reference Branch, Room 1C-1, of the Commission's offices 
at 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.
    Please submit any comments within 40 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 Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426. Please affix Project No. 3195-068 to all comments. For further 
information, please contact the project manager, Ms. Rebecca Martin, at 
(202) 219-2650.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
