Joseph Hydro Company, Inc.; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

July 11, 1997.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) regulations, 
18 CFR Part 380 (Order 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Hydropower 
Licensing has reviewed an exemption surrender application for the 
Ferguson Ridge Project, FERC No. 6621-006. The Ferguson Ridge Project 
is located on the Wallowa Valley Improvement District irrigation canal 
in Wallowa County, Oregon. 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 
Reference and Information Center, Room 2-A, 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
    Please submit any comments within 15 days from the date of this 
notice. Any comments, conclusions, or recommendations that draw upon 
studies, reports or other working papers or 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. 6621-006 to all comments. Further
