Alaska Aquaculture, Inc.; Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

[Project No. 10773-011 Alaska]
February 3, 1994
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part 
380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47910), the Office of Hydropower Licensing 
(OHL) has reviewed an application to amend the licenses for the Burnett 
River Hatchery Project. The amendment would change project features as 
follows: (1) Reroute the project's penstock, (2) change the elevation 
datum, (3) remove the existing powerhouse and build the authorized 
powerhouse at a different location, and (4) reduce the installed 
capacity from 330 to 280 kilowatts. This project is located on the 
Burnett River on Etolin Island along the southeast coast of Alaska. The 
staff of OHL's Division of Project Compliance and Administration 
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the application. In the 
EA, staff concludes that approval of the proposed amendment application 
would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the 
equality of the human environment.
    Copies of the EA are available for review in the Reference and 
Information Center, room 3308, of the Commission's offices at 941 North 
Capitol Street NE., Washington, DC 20426.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
