Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2620-005; South Carolina]

 
Lockhart Power Company; Notice of Availability of Final 
Environmental Assessment

August 27, 1999.
    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 Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for a new license 
for the Lockhart Hydroelectric Project. The project is located on the 
Broad River, near the town of Lockhart, in Union, Chester, York, and 
Cherokee counties, South Carolina. No federal lands or facilities are 
occupied or used by the project.
    On June 25, 1999, the Commission staff issued a draft environmental 
assessment (DEA) for the project and requested that comments be filed 
with the Commission within 30 days. Comments on the DEA were filed and 
are addressed in the final environmental assessment (FEA) for the 
project.
    The FEA 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 FEA 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

Secretary.
