DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 10198-033]
City of Pelican, AK; Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental
Assessment
On September 16, 2024, the City of Pelican, AK (City) filed an
application for a new minor license \1\ for the existing 0.7-megawatt
Pelican Project (FERC No. 10198). The Pelican Project is located on the
Pelican Creek in the City of Pelican, AK.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The licensee filed an application for a subsequent license,
but because the existing license did not include a waiver of
sections 14 and 15 of the FPA, any license issued in response to
this application will be a new license pursuant to 18 CFR 16.2(a).''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on March 2, 2026,
Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for
environmental analysis (REA Notice). Based on the information in the
record, including comments filed on the REA Notice, staff does not
anticipate that licensing the project would constitute a major federal
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
Therefore, staff intends to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) on
the application to license the Pelican Project.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ For tracking purposes under the National Environmental
Policy Act, the unique identification number for documents relating
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1777997768.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EA will be issued and circulated for review by all interested
parties. All comments filed on the EA will be analyzed by staff and
considered in the Commission's final licensing decision.
For public inquiries and assistance with making filings such as
interventions, comments, or requests for rehearing, contact the Office
