Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either: complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

14 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commentors will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://www.ferc.gov. 

Persons unable to file electronically 

should submit an original and 14 copies 

of the protest or intervention to the 

Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 

20426. 

This filing is accessible on-line at 

http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is available for 

review in the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room in Washington, DC. 

There is an ‘‘eSubscription’’ link on the 

Web site that enables subscribers to 

receive e-mail notification when a 

document is added to a subscribed 

docket(s). For assistance with any FERC 

Online service, please e-mail

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 13645–000] 

Alaska Power and Telephone 

Company; Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

September 16, 2010. 

On December 21, 2009, the Alaska 

Power and Telephone Company filed an 

application for a preliminary permit, 

pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal 

Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the 

feasibility of the Schubee Lake 

Hydroelectric Project to be located near 

Schubee Lake in the Boroughs of 

Skagway and Haines, Alaska near 

Haines, Alaska. The sole purpose of a 

preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant 

the permit holder priority to file a 

license application during the permit 

term. A preliminary permit does not 

authorize the permit holder to perform 

any land-disturbing activities or 

otherwise enter upon lands or waters 

owned by others without the owners’ 

express permission. 

The proposed project has two 

alternatives for the lake intake: a siphon 

intake and a conventional intake. The 

proposed project also has two 

alternatives for the penstock: aboveground and directional-bored. 

The siphon intake alternative 

includes: (1) A fabricated steel intake 

screen; (2) an approximately 200-footlong, 24-inch-diameter high-density 

polyethylene pipe connecting the intake 

screen to the pumphouse; (3) an 8-footlong, 24-inch-diameter vacuum tank and 

a vacuum pump; (4) a siphon 

pumphouse; and (5) a 269-acre 

(maximum pool), 5,000 acre-foot active 

storage capacity reservoir. 

The conventional intake alternative 

includes: (1) A 20-foot-high, 200-footlong timber, rockfill, and concrete dam; 

(2) an 8-foot-long, 8-foot-wide, 20-foothigh concrete intake box; and (3) a 290- 

acre (maximum pool), 6,000 acre-foot 

active storage capacity reservoir. 

The above-ground penstock 

alternative includes: (1) A 7,100-footlong, 24-inch-diameter steel pipe with 

polyurethane coating and lining; (2) 

concrete and fabricated steel saddle 

supports; (3) reinforced concrete thrust 

blocks; and (4) expansion joints and/or 

sleeve couplings. 

The directional-bored penstock 

alternative includes: (1) A 7,200-footlong, 28-inch-diameter tunnel, bored 

with directional-drilling equipment by 

successive backreamings of a pilot hole; 


emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
57768 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 183 / Wednesday, September 22, 2010 / Notices 

(2) a 7,200-foot-long, 24-inch-diameter 

steel liner; and (3) grout between lining 

and tunnel as required. 

In all of the alternatives, the project 

would also consist of the following: (1) 

A new powerhouse; (2) a turbine/ 

generator unit with an installed capacity 

of 4,900 kilowatts; and (3) a 9-mile-long, 

34.5-kilovolt transmission line 

connected to the grid in the Haines area 

via a submarine cable. 

Annual energy production is 

estimated to be 25 gigawatt-hours.
