DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 13287-004-NY]


Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment; City of 
New York

    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 an original license for the proposed 
14.08-megawatt (MW) Cannonsville Hydroelectric Project, which would be 
located on the City of New York's existing Cannonsville Dam, which 
impounds its Cannonsville Water Supply Reservoir. The dam and reservoir 
are located on the West Branch of the Delaware River, near the Township 
of Deposit, in Delaware County, New York. Commission staff prepared a 
draft Environmental Assessment (draft EA) which analyzes the potential 
environmental effects of construction and operation of 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
