DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 13124-003]

Copper Valley Electric Association, Inc.; Notice of Availability 
of Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 380 (Order No. 
486, 52 Federal Register 47897), the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed Copper Valley Electric Association, Inc.'s application for an 
original license to construct the Allison Creek Hydroelectric Project 
(FERC Project No. 13124-003). The proposed 6.5-megawatt project would 
be located on Allison Creek near Valdez, Alaska. The project would not 
occupy any federal lands.
    Staff prepared a draft environmental assessment (EA) which analyzes 
the potential environmental effects of licensing 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.
    A copy of the draft EA is available for review at the Commission in 
the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site 
at 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 Support at
