DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Notice of Application for Amendment of License and Soliciting 
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Protests

April 20, 2007.
    Take notice that the following application has been filed with the 
Commission and is available for public inspection:
    a. Application Type: Amendment of License to Modify Project Design.
    b. Project No.: 11588-027.
    c. Date Filed: January 26, 2007.
    d. Applicant: Alaska Power and Telephone Company.
    e. Name of Project: Kasidaya Creek Hydroelectric Project.
    f. Location: On the Kasidaya Creek at Taiya Inlet, 3 miles south of 
the City of Scagway, and 12 miles northeast of the City of Haines, 
Alaska.
    g. Filed Pursuant to: Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 791a-825r.
    h. Applicant Contact: Mr. Glen D. Martin, Alaska Power and 
Telephone Company, 193 Otto Street, Port Townsend, WA 98368. Phone 
(360) 385-1733.
    i. FERC Contact: Anumzziatta Purchiaroni at (202) 502-6191, and e-
mail: Anumzziatta.Purchiaroni@ferc.gov.
    j. Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, and protest: 
May 21, 2007.
    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: 
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
interveners filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of 
that document on each person whose name appears on the official service 
list for the project.

[[Page 20844]]

Further, if an intervener files comments or documents with the 
Commission relating to the merits of an issue that may affect the 
responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they must also serve 
a copy of the document on that resource agency. A copy of any motion to 
intervene must also be served upon each representative of the Applicant 
specified in the particular application.
    k. Description of Request: The licensee proposes to: (1) Move the 
diversion structure about 54 feet downstream from the authorized 
location, and change the height of the structure from 10 to 15 feet, 
which would change the surface area of the impoundment from 0.25 to 
about 0.30 acre, and its volume from 1.0 to 1.1 acre-feet; (2) extend 
the access road about 800 feet on the north side of Kasidaya Creek, 
cross over the creek with a 50-foot-long modular bridge, and then 
construct an additional 400 feet of road on the south side of the 
creek, to access the diversion structure; (3) instead of the authorized 
675 foot-long tunnel between the diversion structure and the penstock, 
install a penstock that would be buried adjacent to the proposed 
extended access road; (4) install a pneumatic-operated gate instead of 
a spillway with a fixed concrete crest; (5) eliminate the quay at the 
marine access facilities; and (6) decrease the length of the jetty from 
250 to 200 feet. The corridor of the proposed extension of the access 
road and penstock would be in the same vicinity of the upper segment of 
penstock that was originally proposed under the license. These 
modifications would require changing the amount of federal lands 
occupied by the project from 11.05 acres to 12.14 acres.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, 
DC 20426, or by calling (202) 502-8371. This filing may also be viewed

filing refers.
    p. Agency Comments: Federal, state, and local agencies are invited
