Southeastern Hydro-Power, Inc.; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

August 30, 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 requesting the Commission's authorization to amend the 
license for the proposed W. Kerr Scott Hydroelectric Project, to be 
located on the Yadkin River immediately below the existing W. Kerr 
Scott Dam, operated by the Wilmington District Corps of Engineers, in 
Wilkes County, North Carolina, and has prepared a Draft Environmental 
Assessment (DEA) for the proposed action.
    In the DEA, Commission staff concludes that approval of the subject 
amendment of license with staff's recommended mitigative measures would 
not produce any significant adverse environmental impacts; 
consequently, the proposal would not constitute a major federal action 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the DEA can be viewed at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, Room 2A, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, or 
by calling (202) 208-1371. The DEA also 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 David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 
20426. Please affix ``W. Kerr Scott Hydroelectric Project Amendment of 
License, Project No. 6879-019'' to all comments. For further 
information, please contact Jim Haimes at (202) 219-2780.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
