DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project Nos. 1175-015 and 1290-012]


Appalachian Power Company; Notice of Availability of 
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 28.8-megawatt (MW) 
London-Marmet Hydroelectric Project and the 14.76-MW Winfield 
Hydroelectric Project located on the Kanawha River in Fayette, Kanawha, 
and Putnam Counties, West Virginia, and has prepared an Environmental 
Assessment (EA). In the EA, Commission staff analyzes the potential 
environmental effects of relicensing the projects and concludes that 
issuing new licenses for the projects, with appropriate environmental 
measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for public inspection. The 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 FERC Online

this notice. Comments may be filed electronically via the Internet. See 
18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
