Southeast Alaska Power Agency; 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 Code of Federal Regulations Part 380, Commission staff 
has reviewed the Southeast Alaska Power Agency's application for 
amendment of license for the Swan Lake Hydroelectric Project (FERC 
Project No. 2911) and has prepared an environmental assessment (EA). 
The project is located on Falls Creek on Revillagigedo Island near 
Ketchikan, Alaska. The project occupies federal lands administered by 
the U.S. Forest Service within the Tongass National Forest.
    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of adding spillway gates to the project dam, 
raising the maximum elevation of the project impoundment by 15 feet, 
inundating an additional 93 acres, and making structural modifications 
to the dam and intake structure. The EA concludes that authorizing the 
amendment, 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 available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room, or it may be viewed on the Commission's Web site 
at http://www.ferc.gov using the e-Library link. Enter the docket 
number (P-2911) in the docket number field to access the document. For
