Atlanta Power Company; Notice of Availability of Draft
Environmental Assessment

August 3, 2000.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
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 Atlanta Power Station Hydroelectric Project, and has prepared a
Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA). The operating project is located
on the Middle Fork Boise River near the town of Atlanta (75 miles from
the nearest populated area), in Elmore County, Idaho. Water to operate
the run-of-river project is diverted at Kirby dam which is owned and
operated by the U.S. Forest Service (FS). The project occupies about
3.3 acres of land within the Boise National Forest, administered by the
FS. The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential
environmental impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the
project with appropriate environmental protective measures, would not
constitute a major federal action that would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Public Reference
Room, Room 2A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426. This filing may also be viewed on the web at
http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please call (202) 208-2222 for
assistance).
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this
notice and should be addressed to David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
20426. For further information, contact Gaylord Hoisington, Project
Coordinator, at (202) 219-2756.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
