[Project No. 2696-004]


Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

May 8, 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 a license surrender 
application for the Stuyvesant Falls Project, No. 2696-004. The 
Stuyvesant Falls Project is located on Kinderhook Creek in Columbia 
County, New York. The licensee is applying for a surrender of the 
license due to leaks in the pipelines that are uneconomical to repair 
for safe and effective operation of the project. An Environmental 
Assessment (EA) was prepared for the application. The EA finds that 
approving the application would not constitute a major federal action 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Commission's 
Reference and Information Center, Room 1C-1, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
    Please submit any comments within 30 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, NE., Washington, DC 
20426. Please affix Project No. 2696-004 to all comments. For further 
information, please contact the project manager, Ms. Hillary Berlin, at 
(202) 219-0038.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
