DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 14862-001]


Douglas Leen; Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, 18 CFR part 
380, the Office of Energy Projects has reviewed the application for 
exemption from licensing for the Kupreanof Microhydro Project, to be 
located on an unnamed stream in Petersburg Borough, Alaska, and has 
prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA). The project would occupy 
0.651 acre of federal land in the Tongass National Forest, managed by 
the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service.
    In the EA, Commission staff analyzes the potential environmental 
effects of the project and concludes that issuing an exemption for the 
project, with appropriate environmental measures, would not constitute 
a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human 
environment.
    The Commission provides all interested persons an opportunity to 
view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's Home 
Page (http://www.ferc.gov) using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the 
docket number, excluding the last three digits in the docket number 
field, to access the document. At this time, the Commission has 
suspended access to Commission's Public Reference Room, due to the 
proclamation declaring a National Emergency concerning the Novel 
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), issued by the President on March 13, 
2020. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at 
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll-free at (866)-208-3676, or for TTY,
