Alaska Electric Light & Power Company: 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 part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for a new license for the Salmon Creek and 
Annex Creek Hydroelectric Project, located on Salmon Creek and Annex 
Creek in the City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska and has prepared an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project. The project occupies 
648.45 acres of federal lands administered by the United States 
Department of Agriculture, Forest Service.
    The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
effects of the project and concludes that relicensing 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 available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may 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
