Summit Hydropower, Incorporated; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

October 8, 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 an original 
license for the Gainer Dam Hydroelectric Project, located in the town 
of Scituate, Providence County, Rhode Island, and has prepared a Draft 
Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. In the DEA, the 
Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental effects of 
rehabilitating and enlarging an existing project and has concluded that 
approval of the project, as proposed with additional staff-recommended 
measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE, 
Washington, DC 20426.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressd to David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street N.E., Room 1-A, 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Gainer Dam Hydroelectric Project 
No. 11282'' to the top page of all comments. For any questions 
concerning preparation of the DEA for this proposed action, please 
contact Lee Emery, E-mail address, [email protected], or telephone 
(202) 219-2779, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Office of 
Hydropower Licensing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
