[Project No. 2146-083 Alabama]


Alabama Power Company; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

March 26, 1999.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
regulations, the Office of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the 
application for the proposed Amendment of License for the Coosa River 
Project, located in Talladega County, Alabama, and has prepared a Draft 
Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the proposed action.
    In the DEA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the potential 
environmental impacts of The Utilities Board of the City of Sylacauga, 
Alabama (Board) constructing and operating a raw water intake and 
pumping station on Lay Reservoir. The staff has concluded that, given 
the mitigative measures proposed by the Board, approval of the action 
would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the 
quality of the human environment.
    The EA was written by staff in the office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA can be viewed at 
the Commission's Reference and Information Center, Room 2A, 888 First 
Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371. The 
DEA may be viewed on the Web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Call 
(202) 208-2222 for assistance.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to Dave Boergers, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426. Please Affix ``Coosa River Project Amendment of License, Project 
No. 2146-083`` to all comments. For further information, please contact
