Alaska Energy Authority; Notice of Availability of Environmental 
Assessment

May 10, 1996.
    An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. 
The EA was prepared for an application to amend the license for the 
Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project. The application would allow the 
Alaska Energy Authority (licensee) to reactivate its use of the Martin 
River airstrip located about two miles from the project. The licensee 
would use the Martin River airstrip as an alternative landing site to 
the project's permanent airstrip. Reactivating the Martin River 
airstrip would require reconstructing about 4,000 feet of the 
airstrip's access road. The EA finds that approving the application to 
reactivate the airstrip would not constitute a major federal action 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The 
Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project is located on the Kenai Peninsula, 
at the northeast end of Kachemak Bay, about 27 miles from Homer, 
Alaska.
    The EA was written by staff in the Office of Hydropower Licensing, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Copies of the EA can be obtained 
by calling the Commission's Public Reference Room at [phone].
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
