River in Spartanburg County, South Carolina.
    By order issued June 2, 1998, (Clifton Power Corporation, Order on 
Settlement Offer, 83 FERC para. 61,257) the Commission directed its 
Secretary to issue public notice of its intention to unconditionally 
accept surrender of the license for this project, unless comments 
opposing such acceptance are filed within 30 days after issuance of the 
notice. The Commission will also terminate, without re-assessment, the 
civil penalty proceeding in this matter (Clifton Power Corp. v. FERC,

    The Commission will consider whether to accept surrender of the 
license, and if so, under what conditions, in light of any such 
comments received. If no such comments are received, the surrender of 
the license will be accepted unconditionally on the thirty-first day 
after issuance of this public notice, without further order of the 
Commission. After acceptance of surrender, the Commission will no 
longer regulate the safety of the project or any other aspect of its 
operation.
    Any person may file comments. All comments must be received on or 
before July 13, 1998, and must bear in all capital letters the title
