Goat Lake Hydro Inc.; Notice of Availability of Draft 
Environmental Assessment

July 23, 2002.
    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 F.R. 47897), the Office 
of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for amendment of the 
license for the Goat Lake Hydroelectric Project, located on Pitchfork 
Falls, near the town of Skagway, in the First Judicial District, 
Alaska, and has prepared a Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) for the 
project. The project occupies lands of the Tongass National Forest.
    The DEA contains the staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental impacts of modifications to the project and concludes 
that amending the license for the project, with appropriate 
environmental protective measures, would not constitute a major federal 
action that would significantly affect the quality of the human 
environment.
    Copies of the DEA are available for review at the Commission's 
Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371. The DEA may be viewed on the web 
at <A HREF="http://www.ferc.gov">http://www.ferc.gov</A> (call (202) 208-2222 for assistance).
    Any comments should be filed within 30 days from the date of this 
notice and should be addressed to Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426. Please affix Project No. 11077-022 to all comments. Comments may 
be filed electronically via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site 
at <A HREF="http://www.ferc.gov">http://www.ferc.gov</A>.
    For further information, contact Michael Henry at (503) 944-6762.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Deputy Secretary.
