DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2616-004 New York]


Erie Boulevard Hydropower L.P.; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

June 30, 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 Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a new major license 
for the Hoosic River Hydroelectric Project located on the Hoosic River 
in Rensselaer and Washington Counties, New York, and has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed project. In the EA, the 
Commission's staff has analyzed the potential environmental effects of 
the proposed project and has concluded that approval of the proposed 
project, with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute 
a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, 
Washington, DC 20426, and may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please call (202) 208-2222 for 
assistance).

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
