Whitewater Engineering Corporation; Notice to File Additional 
Scientific Studies

February 5, 1996.
    Pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of 1992, Whitewater Engineering 
Corporation (Whitewater) intends to prepare a preliminary draft 
environmental assessment (PDEA) to file with its license application 
for the proposed Power Creek Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 11243-
001), to be located on Power Creek, near the town of Cordova, Alaska.
    Under Section 4.32(b)(7) of the Commission's Regulations, if any 
agency, Indian Tribe, special interest group, or individual thinks that 
the applicant should conduct an additional scientific study to form an 
adequate factual basis for a complete analysis of the project's merits, 
they must request that study within 60 days of the filing of the 
license application.
    For the Power Creek Project, however, Whitewater requested waiver 
of section 4.32(b)(7) of the regulations to accommodate their 
preparation of the PDEA, so the additional studies request opportunity 
will be afforded now. The waiver has been granted. Therefore, all 
requests for studies must be filed within 60 days of the issuance date 
of this notice.
    The study requests, which must conform to section 4.32(b)(7) of the 
regulations, should clearly identify the following on the first page:

Power Creek Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 11243-001).

    The requests should then be served on the following two parties:

Thom Fischer, President, Whitewater Engineering Corporation, 1050 
Larrabee Ave., Suite 104-107, Bellingham, WA 98225
Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
