DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
Project No. 11393-001 Alaska


City of Saxman; Notice of Availability of Final Environmental 
Assessment

November 13, 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 F.R. 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.
    On July 14, 1997, the Commission staff issued and distributed to 
all parties a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) on the project, and 
requested that comments be filed with the Commission within 30 days. 
Comments were filed and are addressed in the Final Environmental 
Assessment (FEA).
    The FEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of the project and concludes 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 FEA 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
