Mr. Jerry B. Buckley, Ms. Brooke Buckley (Executrix); Notice of 
Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment

December 23, 1998.
    The staff of the Office of Hydropower Licensing (OHL), Division of 
Licensing and Compliance, has prepared a draft environmental assessment 
(EA) which is available for public review. The EA was prepared to 
analyze impacts associated with the Commission's proposal to revoke the 
license for the Jerry B. Buckley Hydroelectric Project, FERC No. 8118. 
The EA reviews four action-alternatives for the project license and the 
no-action alternative. The EA finds that approval of the Commission's 
proposed revocation of license, with staff recommendations, would not 
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment. The Project is located in the Platte River 
Basin on Clear Creek, near the Town of Georgetown in Clear Creek 
County, Colorado.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2A of the Commission's Offices at 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, D.C. 20426, or by calling the Commission's Public Reference 
Room at (202) 208-1371. Please submit any written comments within 30 
days from the date of this public notice. Any comments, conclusions, or 
recommendations that draw upon studies, reports, or other working 
papers of substance should be supported by appropriate documentation.
    Comments should be address to Mr. David P. Boergers, Secretary, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426. Please affix the caption ``Jerry B. Buckley 
Project, FERC No. 8118-021'' to all comments. For further information, 
please contact the environmental coordinator, CarLisa Linton at (202) 
219-2802 or the project manager, Tom Papsidero at (202) 219-2715.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
