DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 2230-034-AK]


City and Borough of Sitka, AK; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

April 17, 2007.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47879), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for a new license for the Blue Lake 
Hydroelectric Project, located on Sawmill Creek, near the City of 
Sitka, Alaska, and has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). In 
the EA, Commission staff analyze potential environmental effects of 
relicensing the project and conclude that issuing a new license for the 
project, with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute 
a major federal action significantly affecting 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 
field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online 
Support at [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 ``Blue Lake Project No. 2230-034'' 
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 
Tom Dean at (202) 502-6041.
