[Project Nos. 2731-020 & 2737-002 Vermont]


Central Vermont Public Service Corporation; Notice of 
Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment

March 9, 2000.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the applications for new license 
for the continued operation of the Weybridge and Middlebury Lower 
Hydroelectric Projects located on Otter Creek, in the towns of 
Middlebury and Weybridge, Addison County, Vermont, and has prepared a 
Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the projects. In the DEA, the 
Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental impacts of 
the projects and has concluded that approval of the projects, with 
appropriate environmental protection 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, 
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. The DEA may also be viewed on the web at 
http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Please call (202) 208-2222 for 
assistance.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Room 1-A, Washington,

Projects No. 2731-020 and 2737-002'' to all comments. For further
