DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Project No. 11077-001 Alaska]


Alaska Power & Telephone Company; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

March 11, 1996.
    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 an original, 
major unconstructed license for the Goat Lake Hydroelectric Project, 
and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the 
project. The project is located on Pitchfork Falls, about 7 miles from 
the town of Skagway, in southeast Alaska.
    In the DEA, the Commission's staff has analyzed the potential 
environmental impacts of the project and has concluded that approval of 
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 DEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Branch, Room 2A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to Lois D. Cashell, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426. For further information, contact Mr. Carl Keller, Environmental 
Coordinator, at (202) 219-2831.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
