No. 2869-007, New York]


Erie Boulevard Hydropower L.P. and Village of Potsdam; Notice of 
Availability of Draft Multiple Project Environmental Assessment

June 16, 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 staff has reviewed the applications for new license 
for the Carry Falls, Upper Raquette River, Middle Raquette River, and 
the Lower Raquette River Hydroelectic Projects, and the application for 
amendment of exemption for the Potsdam Water Power Project, located on 
the Raquette River in St. Lawrence County, New York, and has prepared a 
draft multiple project Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the projects. 
In the DEA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the potential 
environmental impacts of the existing 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, 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. Please affix ``Carry Falls Project No. 2060-005'', ``Upper 
Raquette River Project No. 2084-020'', ``Middle Raquette River Project 
No. 2320-005'', ``Lower Raquette River Project No. 2330-007'', and/or 
``Potsdam Water Power Project No. 2869-007'', as appropriate, to all 
comments. For further information, please contact Charles T. Raabe at
