Curtis/Palmer Hydroelectric Company L.P.; International Paper 
Company; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment

January 29, 1999.
    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 Curtis/Palmer Falls Hydroelectric Project, located in 
Warren and Saratoga Counties, New York, and has prepared a Draft 
Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. In the DEA, the 
Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental impacts of 
the existing project and has concluded that approval of the project, 
with appropriate environmental 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. The DEA may also be viewed on the web at 
www.ferc.fed.us. Please call (202) 208-2222 for assistance.
    Any comments should be filed within 45 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1-A, 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Curtis/Palmer Falls Hydroelectric 
Project No. 2609'' to the top of all comments. For further information, 
please call Tom Dean at (202) 219-2778.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
