DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 11509-000 Oregon]


City of Albany, Oregon; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

March 24, 1998.
    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 an original 
license for the City of Albany, Oregon Hydroelectric Project, and has 
prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. The 
project is located on the South Santiam River, Albany-Santiam canal, 
and Calapooia River in the cities of Lebanon and Albany, Linn County, 
Oregon. The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of the project and concludes that licensing 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 
Room, 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 David P. Boergers, Acting Secretary, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426. For further information, contact Nicholas 
Jayjack, Environmental Coordinator, at (202) 219-2825.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
