[Project No. 620-009 Alaska]


NorQuest Seafoods, Inc.; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

March 30, 2005.
    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 Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for license for the 
Chignik Hydroelectric Project and has prepared an Environmental 
Assessment (EA) for the project. The project is located on the Indian 
Creek, in the town of Chignik, Alaska. The project occupies about two 
acres of United States land within the boundary of the Alaska Peninsula 
National Wildlife Refuge that is in the process of being conveyed to 
Far West, Inc., a local tribal Corporation.
    The EA 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.
