Alaska Power and Telephone Company; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

Februry 21, 1997.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA is for an application to amend the Goat Lake Hydroelectric 
Project. The application is to modify the project by extending the 
access road to the bottom of the Skagway River Valley, relocating the 
powerhouse to the west side of the river, extending the transmission 
line, realigning the penstock route, and deleting the 125-foot-long 
spillway and burying the siphon. The EA finds that approval of the 
application would not constitute a major federal action significantly 
affecting the quality of the human environment. The Goat Lake Project 
is located on Pitchfork Falls, near the town of Skagway, 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 1C-1, of the Commission's offices at 
888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426.
    For further information, please contact the project manager, Ms. 
Rebecca Martin, at [phone].
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
