DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2651-006, Indiana]


Indiana Michigan Power Company; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

April 10, 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 Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new license for 
the Elkhart Hydroelectric Project, and has prepared a Draft 
Environmental Assessment (Draft EA). The project is located on the St. 
Joseph River in the City of Elkhart, in Elkhart County, Indiana. No 
federal lands or facilities are occupied or used by the project. The 
Draft EA 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 Draft EA are available for review in the Public 
Reference Room, Room 2A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First 
Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426.
    Any comments should be filed within 45 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. For further information, contact Nicholas Jayjack, Team Leader, 
at (202) 219-2825.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
