Wisconsin River Power Company, Wisconsin Power and Light Company; 
Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment

June 23, 1998.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for new major 
license for the Petenwell-Castle Rock Hydroelectric Project located on 
the Wisconsin River in Woods, Juneau, and Adams Counties near Necedah, 
Wisconsin, and the application for original major license for the 
Prairie du Sac Hydroelectric Project located on the Wisconsin River in 
Sauk and Columbia Counties near Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin, and has 
prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the proposed 
licensing actions. In the DEA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the 
potential environmental impacts of the proposed licenses, and has 
concluded that approval of the proposed licenses, with appropriate 
measures, would not constitute major federal actions significantly 
affecting 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.
    Comments should be filed within 45 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to David P. Boergers, Acting Secretary,
