DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 1981-010-Wisconsin]


Oconto Electric Cooperative; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

November 8, 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 existing Stiles Hydroelectric Project, located on the Oconto River, 
in the township of Stiles, Oconto County, Wisconsin, and has prepared a 
draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. In the draft EA, 
the Commission staff has analyzed the potential environmental effects 
of the project and has concluded that the approval of the project, with 
appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute a major 
Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    Copies of the draft EA 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. The draft EA may also be viewed on 
the internet at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Please call 
(202) 208-2222 for assistance.
    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 ``Stiles Hydroelectric Project, FERC Project No. 
1981-010'' to all comments. For further information, please contact 
Patti Leppert at (202) 219-2767. Comments and protests may be filed 
electronically via the internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site
