DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
Project No. 11393-001 Alaska]


City of Saxman; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental 
Assessment

July 14, 1997.
    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 
license for the major, unconstructed, Mahoney Lake Hydroelectric 
Project. The project would be located on Upper Mahoney Lake and Upper 
Mahoney Creek near Ketchikan in Southeast Alaska. The Commission staff 
has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) on the project. The 
DEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the project and has concluded 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 DEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Room, 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 Vince Yearick, Environmental 
Coordinator, at (202) 219-3073.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
