[Project No. 11690-001-Alaska]


Alaska Village Electric Cooperative, Inc.; Notice of Availability 
of Draft Environmental Assessment

January 19, 2000.
    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 Alaska Village Electric Cooperative, Inc.'s proposed Old 
Harbor Hydroelectric Project, and has prepared a Draft Environmental 
Assessment (DEA). The project would be located near the city of Old 
Harbor, Alaska on Kodiak Island, partly on the Kodiak National Wildlife 
Refuge. This DEA contains the Commission staff's analysis of the 
potential future 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 Commission's 
Public Reference Room, Room 2A, at 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 
20426, and may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please call (202) 208-2222 for assistance).
    Any comments to this DEA should be filed within 45 days from the 
date of this notice and addressed to David P. Boergers, Secretary, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, 
DC 20426. For further information, please contact Nan Allen, Project 
Coordinator, at (202) 219-2938.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
