An environmental assessment (EA) is available for public review. The EA was prepared for an application filed by Alaska Power and Telephone Company (licensee) on January 26, 2007, and supplemented on March 6 and April 5, 2007, requesting Commission approval for an Amendment of License to Modify Project Design at the Kasidaya Hydroelectric Project. The project is located on Kasidaya Creek at Taiya Inlet, 3 miles south of the City of Skagway, Alaska. The project occupies lands within the Tongass National Forest, administered by the U.S. Forest Service. The licensee has requested that in lieu of passing the penstock through a tunnel to cross Kasidaya Creek and gain access to the diversion structure, they would like to have the penstock cross over Kasidaya Creek with a modular steel bridge. The penstock would be buried adjacent to the access road, except for crossing the creek, on a small bridge adjacent to the aluminum block culvert. In addition to being significantly less expensive than the tunnel, the bridge arrangement would also provide more convenient access to the diversion site for construction and operation of the project. The Environmental Assessment (EA), which is attached to the order approving order amending license and revising annual charges, evaluates the environmental effects of the relocation and redesign of project facilities.

On May 25, 2007, Landowners for Economic and Environmental Protection (Landowners) submitted Intervenors’ Comments to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Elba III Project in the above referenced dockets. After receipt of the filing, the staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has determined that the text of Comments, together with Exhibits A and B, comply with the Commission’s filing requirements and are acceptable submittals which will be considered in the Final Environmental Impact Statement. However, Exhibit C (five DVDs containing digital data) is hereby rejected for numerous failures to comply with the Commission’s Submission Guidelines for CDs, DVDs, and Other Electronic Media (Guidelines),1 as outlined below: • The submission does not include a cover letter containing information specified by the Guidelines; • The data files on the DVDs include files that exceed the 50 MB limit per file, with many files in the range of 145– 456 MB; • The folder mapping on the DVDs does not follow the Files and Folders Guidelines correlating the electronic data to the logical organization of the document, and there is no documentation outlining how the data was split over the five DVDs and the content on each; 1 The Guidelines appear online at: https:// www.ferc.gov/help/submission-guide.asp. The Guidelines specifically outline the areas in which Exhibit C was non-compliant. VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:43 Jul 03, 2007 Jkt 211001 There appears to be duplication of Exhibit A in three places and duplicate copies of other electronic files on the DVDs; • Many file names are not descriptive, and the cover letter is not in the root directory; • There are at least 10 unacceptable file types submitted which prohibit both FERC staff and the public from viewing them; • Specialized software was used to compile the data and distribute the contents over five DVDs, which does not allow FERC staff or the public access to the electronic media without administrative rights; • The filing does not include a detailed description of the content of the filing and instructions for the public on how to obtain the resources to view it; • The external labels on the DVDs do not identify the filer, docket number, or security classification of the data; • The consultant responsible for the compilation of the DVDs did not comply with FERC staff’s request to provide a paper copy of the map document (.mxd file) for FERC staff use.
