DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 14514-003]


Community of Elfin Cove Non Profit Corporation, DBA Elfin Cove 
Utility Commission; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR \1\ part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for a license to construct and operate the 
Crooked Creek and Jim's Lake Hydroelectric Project. The project would 
be located on Crooked Creek and Jim's Lake, near the community of Elfin 
Cove, in the Sitka Recording District, Unorganized Borough, Alaska. 
Commission staff has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the 
project. The project would occupy 10.5 acres of federal land in the 
Tongass National Forest, managed by the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture's Forest Service.
    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.
    The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity 
to view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's 
Home Page (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
