[Project No. 2743-079]

Kodiak 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) 
regulations, 18 Code of Federal Regulations part 380, Commission staff 
has reviewed the Kodiak Electric Association, Inc.'s application for 
amendment of license for the Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project (FERC 
Project No. 2743) and has prepared an environmental assessment (EA). 
The project is located on the Terror and Kizhuyak Rivers in Kodiak 
Island Borough, Alaska. The project occupies federal lands administered 
by the U.S. Coast Guard, Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Fish 
and Wildlife Service within the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge.
    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the proposed construction of two diversion 
dams within the Upper Hidden Basin Creek drainage, a 1.7-mile-long 
tunnel and canal system diverting water to Terror Lake, and a 4-mile-
long spur road, and concludes that authorizing the amendment, 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 EA is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room, or it may be viewed on the Commission's Web site 
at http://www.ferc.gov using the e-Library link. Enter the docket
