[Project No. 1991-009; Idaho]


City of Bonners Ferry; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

September 15, 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 a new license 
for the existing Moyie River Hydroelectric Project and has prepared a 
Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. The project is 
located near Moyie Springs, in Boundary County, Idaho. The Commission 
staff has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) on the 
project. The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of the project and has concluded 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, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426. For further information, contact Tim Looney, Environmental 
Coordinator, at (202) 219-2852.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
