[Project No. 11243-016; Alaska]


Whitewater Engineering Corporation; Notice of Availability of 
Draft Environmental Assessment

September 10, 1999.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (order 486, 52 FR 47897), the Commission's 
Office of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the application for license 
amendment for the Power Creek Project, No. 11243-016. The Power Creek 
Project is located on Power Creek in Cordova, Alaska. The licensee is 
proposing to reroute the transmission line from the licensed 
subterranean route to an underwater route beneath Eyak Lake. The Draft 
Environmental Assessment (DEA) finds that approving the amendment 
application would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    Copies of the DEA are available for review in the Commission's 
Reference and Information Center, Room 2A, 888 First Street, NE, 
Washington, DC 20426. For further information, please contact Ms. 
Hillary Berlin, at (202) 219-0038. The DEA may also be viewed on the 
web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please call (202) 208-
2222 for assistance).
    Please submit any comments within 45 days from the date of this 
notice. Any comments, conclusions, or recommendations that draw upon 
studies, reports, or other working papers of substance should be 
supported by appropriate documentation.
    Comments should be addressed to David P. Boergers, Secretary, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix Project No. 11243-016 to all 
comments.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
