Yadkin, Inc.; Notice Extending Public Comment Period for Draft 
Environment Assessment

March 22, 2000.
    Staff from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) 
are extending the public comment period for our draft environmental 
assessment (DEA) issued for the Yadkin Hydroelectric Project. The DEA 
analyzes the environmental impacts of a Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) 
filed for Commission approval. The Yadkin Project is located on the 
Yadkin-Pee Dee River in Montgomery, Stanly, Davidson and Rowan 
Counties, North Carolina.

[[Page 16385]]

The Yadkin Project contains the following reservoirs: High Rock, 
Tuckertown, Narrows (Badin) and Falls.
    Comments will be solicited on our DEA until April 17, 2000. The DEA 
was written by staff in the Commission's Office of Energy Projects. 
Commission staff believe the SMP would not constitute a major federal 
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. 
Copies of the DEA can be viewed on the web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/
rims.htm. Call (202) 208-2222 for assistance. Copies are also available 
for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference 
Room located at 888 First Street, NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, or 
by calling (202) 208-1371.
    Anyone may file comments on the DEA. The public, federal and state 
resource agencies are encouraged to provide comments. All written 
comments must be filed by April 17, 2000. Send an original and eight 
copies of all comments marked with the project number P-2197-035 to: 
The Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
NE, Washington, DC 20426. If you have any questions regarding this 
notice, please call Steve Hocking at (202) 219-2656.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
