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 No. 486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office of Energy Projects, Division of Environmental and Engineering Review, reviewed the application for relicensing of the Oswego River Hydroelectric Project, located on the Oswego River in Oswego County, New York. On November 24, 1999, the Commission staff issued a draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project and requested that any comments be filed within 45 days (later extended to January 31, 2000). Comments were filed by five entities and are addressed in the final EA for the project.
