Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 11588–001 Alaska] 

Alaska Power & Telephone Company; 

Notice of Availability of Draft 

Environmental Assessment 

December 26, 2001. 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission) 

regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 

486, 52 F.R. 47897), the Office of Energy 

Projects has reviewed the application 

for an original license for Alaska Power 

and Telephone Company’s proposed 

Otter Creek Hydroelectric Project, and 

has prepared a Draft Environmental 

Assessment (DEA). The proposed 

project would be located on Kasidaya 

Creek, at Taiya Inlet, 3 miles south of 

the City of Skagway, and 12 miles 

southwest of the City of Haines, Alaska. 

The proposed project would occupy 

approximately 6.0 acres of land within 

the Tongass National Forest, 

administered by the U.S. Forest Service. 

This DEA contains the Commission 

staff’s analysis of the potential future 

environmental impacts of the project 

and has concluded 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. 

Copies of the DEA are available for 

review in the Public Reference Room, 

Room 2A, of the Commission’s offices at 

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 

20426. This filing may also be viewed 

on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/

online/rims.htm (please call (202) 208–

Any comments to this DEA should be 

filed within 45 days from the date of 

this notice and should be addressed to

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
