Description of Amendment: The licensee requests that the license be amended to accelerate the expiration date of the license. The current expiration date of the license is December 31, 2018. The licensee requests the Commission to issue an order accelerating the expiration date of the license to not less than 5 years and 90 days from the date of the Commission order. The Badger-Rapide Croche Project consists of three developments: Old Badger, New Badger, and Rapide Croche. The Badger developments have experienced deterioration over the years. The 2.0megawatt (MW) Old Badger powerhouse was built in 1908. The 3.6-MW New Badger powerhouse was built in 1929. The licensee intends to file an application for a new license proposing to rebuild the New Badger powerhouse, and to increase its installed capacity to 7 MW, and to decommission the Old Badger powerhouse due to its advanced state of deterioration. No modifications would be proposed for the existing 2.4MW Rapide Croche powerhouse. Therefore, the licensee wishes to retire the existing license early and relicense the project for a new powerhouse to replace the existing Old/New Badger powerhouses. If the Commission grants the request for acceleration, the Commission will deem the request to be a notice of intent to file an application for a new license. l. Locations of Application: A copy of the application is available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission in the Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, or by calling (202) 502–8371.
