    k. Description of Request: Alaska Electric Light and Power Company 
(AEL&P) proposes to convert 0.3 mile of the Annex Creek development's 
12-mile-long, 23-kilovolt overhead transmission line to an underground 
transmission line. Pursuant to an amendment order issued in 1999, 
approximately 1 mile of the 12-mile-long transmission line was buried 
in the summer of 2000. The proposed underground section of transmission 
line would extend from the previously buried section of line located on 
the west side of Powerline Ridge and transition back to the existing 
overhead line near the location of Camp 6. The proposed underground 
line route would remain within both the Tongass National Forest and the 
existing project boundary. AEL&P proposes to change the transmission 
line from overhead to underground due to the harsh weather conditions 
that regularly damage this section of line.
    l. Locations of the Application: This filing may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/elibrary.asp.
