DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 11243-016]


Cordova Electric Cooperative, Inc.; Notice of Availability of 
Final Environmental Assessment

May 3, 2000.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission's) 
regulations, the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application 
requesting the Commission's approval of an application to amend the 
license for the Power Creek Project for the routing of a section of the 
licensed underground transmission line to an underwater route along the 
bottom of Eyak Lake. The Power Creek Project is located on Power Creek 
near Cordova, Alaska.
    A Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) has been prepared by staff 
for the proposed action. In the FEA, Commission staff does not identify 
any significant impacts that would result from the Commission's 
approval of the proposed rerouting of a section of the project 
transmission to an underwater route. Thus, staff concludes that 
approval of the proposed amendment of license would not constitute a 
major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    The FEA has been attached to and made a part of an Order Amending 
License, issued April 27, 2000, for the Power Creek Project (FERC No. 
11243-016). Copies of the FEA can be viewed at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, Room 2A, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, or 
by calling (202) 208-1371. The FEA also may be viewed on the Web at 
www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Call (202) 208-2222 for assistance.

Secretary.
