Alaska Electric Light and Power Company; Notice of Availability 
of Environmental Assessment

March 17, 1998.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA is for an application to amend the Salmon Creek Hydroelectric 
Project. The application is to decommission the Upper Salmon Creek 
powerplant because the newer lower powerplant renders the upper 
powerhouse uneconomical. In addition, the licensee will remove the two 
miles of primary transmission and communication lines. The EA finds 
that approval of the application would not constitute a major federal 
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. 
The Salmon Creek Project is located on Lower Salmon Creek, near the 
town of Juneau, Alaska.

    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA can be viewed in 
the Public Reference Branch, Room 2A, of the Commission's offices at 
888 First Street NE., Washington, DC.
    For further information, please contact the project manager, Ms. 
Rebecca Martin, at (202) 219-2650.

Acting Secretary.
