[Project No. 1517-008 Utah]


Monroe City Corporation; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

May 21, 1997.
    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 FR 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for a new license 
for the existing Upper Monroe Hydroelectric Project, and has prepared a 
Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. The project, 
which is located near Monroe City, in Sevier County, Utah, diverts 
water from three tributaries of Monroe Creek: Shingle Creek, First 
Lefthand Fork of Monroe Creek, and Serviceberry Creek.
    In the DEA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the potential 
environmental impacts of the project and has concluded that approval of 
the project, with appropriate environmental protective 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 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426. For further information, contact Mr. John Costello, 
Environmental Coordinator, at (202) 219-2914.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
