Whitewater Engineering Corporation; Notice of Availability of 
Final Environmental Assessment

December 23, 1997.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office 
of Hydropower Licensing has reviewed the

[[Page 68287]]

application for an original license for the Power Creek Project, and 
has prepared a Final Environmental Assessment (FEA) for the project. 
The project would be located near Cordova, Alaska. On October 8, 1997, 
the Commission staff issued and distributed to all parties requested 
that comments be filed with the Commission within 30 days. Comments 
were filed and are addressed in the FEA. The FEA contains the staff's 
analysis of the potential environmental impacts of the project and 
concludes that licensing the project, with the appropriate 
environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal 
action that would significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment.
    Copies of the FEA are available for review in the Public Reference 
Room, Room 2A, of the Commission's offices at 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
