[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 199 (Wednesday, October 15, 1997)] [Notices] [Pages 53624-53625] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-27185] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 11243-002 Alaska] Whitewater Engineering Corporation; Notice of Availability of Draft Environmental Assessment October 8, 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 Power Creek Project, and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the project. The project is located near Cordova, Alaska. 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 NE., Washington, DC 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 NE., Washington, DC 20426. For further information, contact Michael Henry, [[Page 53625]] Environmental Coordinator, at (503) 326-5858 extension 224. Lois D. Cashell, Secretary.
