regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office

prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the projects. In 
the FEA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the potential 
environmental effects of the projects and has concluded that licensing 
the projects, with staff's recommended measures, would not constitute a 
major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    Copies of the FEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2-A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street,
