DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 1051-012 Alaska]


Alaska Power & Telephone Company; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

April 10, 2007.
    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 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the 
Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for a subsequent 
license for the existing Skagway-Dewey Lakes Hydroelectric Project and 
has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. The 943-
kilowatt (kW) project is located on Pullen, Dewey, Reid, Icy, and 
Snyder Creeks in Skagway, southeastern Alaska. The project does not 
occupy any federal lands. The project generates an average of about 
3,500,000 kilowatthours (kWh) of energy annually. AP&T proposes no new 
capacity and no new construction.
    The EA contains the staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
effects of the proposed 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 public 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 
filed to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online 
Support at [email protected] or toll-free at (866)-208-3676; 
for TTY contact (202) 502-8659.
    Any comments on the EA should be filed within 30 days from the 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 ``Skagway-Dewey Lakes Hydroelectric Project No. 
1051-012'' 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
