[Project No. 11512-000 Oregon]


John Bigelow; Notice of Availability of Final Environmental 
Assessment

January 27, 2000.
    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 McKenzie Hydroelectric Project. The project is located 
on the McKenzie River, in Lane County, Oregon.
    On July 10, 1998, the Commission staff issued a draft environmental 
assessment (DEA) for the project and requested that comments be filed 
with the Commission within 45 days. Comments on the DEA were filed by 
two entities and are addressed in the final environmental assessment 
(FEA) for the project.
    The FEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the 
project, with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not 
constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the 
quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the FEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Room, Room 2A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street NE, 
Washington, DC 20426. This filing may also be viewed on the web at 
http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please call (202) 208-2222 for 
assistance).

Secretary.
