New York Power Authority; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

July 10, 1998.

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order 486, 52 FR 47897), the Commission's Office of Hydropower Licensing reviewed a flood erosion control plan for the Blenheim-Gilboa Project, No. 2685-005. The Blenheim-Gilboa Project is on Schoharie Creek in Schoharie County, New York. An Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared for the flood erosion control plan. The EA finds that approving the plan would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.

The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA can be viewed in the Public Reference Branch, Room 2A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.

Comments should be addressed to David P. Boegers, Acting Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426. Please affix Project No. 2685-005 to all comments. For further information, please contact the project manager, Ms. Monica Maynard, at (202) 219-2652. David P. Boergers, Acting Secretary.
