[Project No. 2170-029--Alaska]


Chugach Electric Association; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

November 17, 2006.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
as amended, and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission 
or FERC) regulations (18 CFR Part 380), Commission staff has reviewed 
the application for license for the Cooper Lake Hydroelectric Project 
(FERC No. 2170-029) and has prepared an environmental assessment (EA). 
The project is located on Cooper Lake, Cooper Creek and Kenai Lake on 
the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. The EA contains the staff's analysis of 
the potential environmental effects 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 EA is on file with the Commission and is available 
for pubic inspection. The EA may also be viewed on the Commission's Web 
site at http:/www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the 
docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number 
field to access documents. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support 
at FERCOnline [email protected] or toll-free at 1-866-208-3676, or for 
TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the issuance date 
of this notice, and should be addressed to the Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Room 1-A, 
Washington, DC 20426. Please affix ``Saranac River Project No. 2738'' 
to all comments. Comments may be filed electronically via Internet in 
lieu of paper. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings. 
See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's 
Web site under the ``eFiling'' link. For further information, contact
