George and Arminda Briggs; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

May 6, 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 for the proposed Surrender of Exemption for the Briggs 
Hydroelectric Project, located in Fremont County, Idaho, and has 
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed action.
    In the EA, the Commission's staff analyzed the potential 
environmental impacts of the proposed action. The staff concluded that 
approval of the subject surrender of exemption would not produce any 
adverse environmental impacts; consequently, the proposal 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 at 
the Commission's Public Reference Room, Room 2A, 888 First Street, NE, 
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.
