[Project No. 12379-000]


Lake Dorothy Hydro, Inc., Alaska; Notice of Ava

July 24, 2003.
    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 staff of 
the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for license 
for the Lake Dorothy Hydroelectric Project, located at Lake Dorothy on 
Dorothy Creek, near Juneau, Alaska, and has prepared a Final 
Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the project. The project would 
occupy approximately 1,790 acres of land within the Tongass National 
Forest administered by the U.S. Forest Service.
    On June 4, 2003, the Commission staff issued a draft environmental 
assessment (DEA) for the project and requested that comments be filed 
with the Commission within 30 days. Comments on the DEA were filed by 
July 3, 2003, and are addressed in the 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.
    A copy of the FEA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access
