[Project No. 2674-003-VT]


Green Mountain Power Corporation; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

October 16, 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 a new license 
for the existing Vergennes Hydroelectric Project, located in the city 
of Vergennes, Addison County, Vermont, and has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. In the EA, the 
Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental effects of 
the 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 EA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2-A, 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., Room 1-A, 
Washington, D.C. 20426. Please affix ``Vergennes Hydroelectric Project 
No. 2674'' to the top page of all comments. For questions concerning 
preparation of the EA 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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
