Meeting To Discuss the Draft Environmental Assessment for the 
Tuckasegee Hydroelectric Projects

May 17, 2006.
    On May 10, 2006, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(Commission) staff issued a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for

Projects and for the surrender of the Dillsboro Hydroelectric Project.
    The DEA was noticed in the Federal Register on May 17, 2006, and 
comments are due June 9, 2006. The DEA evaluates the environmental 
consequences of the operation and maintenance of the Tuckasegee 
Hydroelectric Projects in North Carolina. The DEA also evaluates the 
environmental effects of implementing the applicant's proposals, agency 
and non-governmental organization recommendations, staff's 
modifications, and the no-action alternative.
    A public meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 8, 2006, from 6 
p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Jackson County Justice and Administration 
Building, Courtroom 2, 401 Grindstaff Cove Road; Sylva, NC

persons will have the opportunity to provide oral and written comments 
and recommendations regarding the DEA for the Commission's public 
record. These meetings will be recorded by an official stenographer.
