Southeastern Hydro-Power, Inc.; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

October 21, 1999.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
regulations, the Office of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the 
application requesting the Commission's authorization to amend the 
license for the proposed W. Kerr Scott Hydroelectric Project, to be 
located on the Yadkin River immediately below the existing W. Kerr 
Scott Dam, operated by the Wilmington District Corps of Engineers, in 
Wilkes County, North Carolina, and has prepared an Environmental 
Assessment (EA) for the proposed action.
    In the EA, Commission staff concludes that approval of the subject 
amendment of license with staff's recommended mitigative measures would 
not produce any significant adverse environmental impacts; 
consequently, the proposal would not constitute a major federal action 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the EA can be viewed at the Commission's Public Reference 
Room, Room 2A, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426, or by 
calling (202) 208-1371. The EA also may be viewed on the Web at 
www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Call (202) 208-2222 for assistance.

    For further information, please contact Jim Haimes at (202) 219-
2780.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
