    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) is reviewing 
the Holyoke Water Power Company's application for a new license for the 
continued operation of the Holyoke Project on the Connecticut River, 
Massachusetts. The Commission is similarly reviewing a competing 
application for the Holyoke Project by Ashburnham Municipal Light Plant 
and the Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company.
    The Commission anticipates conducting public and agency scoping 
meetings for the Holyoke Project during the upcoming winter months. 
Given the uncertainty in weather conditions during the winter in 
Massachusetts, the applicant and Commission staff will conduct a site 
visit of the Holyoke Project prior to conducting any scoping meetings. 
The site visit will be held on November 18, 1997, beginning at 9:00 
a.m. All interested individuals, organizations, and agencies are 
invited to attend. All participants are responsible for their own 
transportation to the site. For more details, interested parties should 
contact Mr. Jim Kearns of Northeast Utilities Service Company at (860)
