DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2696-033-NY]


Town of Stuyvesant, New York and Albany Engineering Corporation; 
Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory 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 license for the 4,320-kilowatt (kW) 
Stuyvesant Falls Hydroelectric Project located on Kinderhook Creek in 
Columbia County, New York, and prepared a draft Environmental 
Assessment (draft EA). In the draft EA, Commission staff analyzes the 
potential environmental effects of relicensing the project and 
concludes that issuing a new license for the project, with appropriate 
environmental measures, would not constitute a major federal action 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the draft EA is on file with the Commission and is 
available for public inspection. The draft EA may also be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' 
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the 
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, contact
