City of Angoon, Alaska; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

July 1, 2009.
    On June 16, 2009, the City of Angoon filed an application pursuant 
to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act to study the feasibility of 
the proposed Scenery Lake Project No. 13365 located in southeast 
Alaska. The June 16 application amends the City of Angoon's initial 
application for the Scenery Lake Project, which was accepted and 
noticed by the Commission on June 1, 2009. The acceptance letter is 
hereby rescinded, and this notice supersedes the June 1, 2009, Notice 
of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 
Comments, Motions to Intervene, and Competing Applications for the 
Scenery Lake Project. 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 would consist of: (1) A 15-foot-high concrete 
dam with spillway impounding Scenery Lake having a surface area of 520 
to 610 acres and a storage capacity of 17,000 acre-feet; (2) a lake tap 
or siphon with fish screen; (3) a 13,000-foot-long by 8-foot-diameter 
power conduit; (4) a powerhouse containing two to four new generating 
units having an installed capacity of 30 megawatts; (5) a proposed 29-
mile-long, 69- and 138-kilovolt transmission line; and (6) appurtenant 
facilities. The proposed Scenery Lake Project would have an average 
annual generation of 130 gigawatt-hours.
    Applicant Contact: Albert Howard, Mayor, City of Angoon, P.O. Box 
189, Angoon, AK 99820; phone: (907) 788-3653.
