Southeast Alaska Power Agency; Notice of Availability of 
Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, Commission staff reviewed Southeast 
Alaska Power Agency's application for a capacity amendment of the 
license for the Tyee Lake Hydroelectric Project No. 3015 and have 
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project.\1\ The 
licensee proposes to install a third turbine-generator unit, which 
would increase the total installed capacity of the project to 33.75-MW. 
The project is located on Tyee Creek in Wrangell Borough, Alaska. The 
project occupies federal lands administered by the U.S. Forest Service 
within the Tongass National Forest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The unique identification number for documents relating to 
this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1755615863.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the potential 
environmental effects of the proposed amendment, alternatives to the 
proposed action, and concludes that the proposed amendment, with 
appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a 
major federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the 
human environment.
