In its PAD, MeadWestvaco stated it was evaluating its options relative to rehabilitating the 100 kW unit, or potentially increasing the overall hydraulic capacity of the facility. Pursuant to 18 CFR 5.11, MeadWestvaco filed a Proposed Study Plan on September 26, 2006. The plan included a Hydropower Redevelopment Study to evaluate the feasibility of rehabilitating the existing facility, replacing the generator units with newer models, or expanding the overall facility capacity. In its Revised Study Plan, filed January 23, 2007, MeadWestvaco withdrew the Hydropower Redevelopment Study proposal. Rather, MeadWestvaco now states that it will rehabilitate the 100kW unit during 2007, and otherwise has no plans to upgrade or expand the project. l. Pursuant to 18 CFR 16.7, information on the project is available at: Ms. Patricia C. Begrowicz, MeadWestvaco, 40 Willow Street, South Lee, MA 01260. m.

On February 1, 2007, staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission convened a technical conference to address issues related to the California Independent System Operator Corporation’s (CAISO) tariff, which reflects the Market Redesign and Technology Upgrade (MRTU) program. The purpose of the technical conference was to explore and discuss the CAISO’s proposed methodology for allocating transmission import capacity in conjunction with resource adequacy requirements in the MRTU Tariff. Two notices were issued prior to the technical conference providing commentors until February 16, 2007, to file post-technical conference comments with the Comission.1 This notice rescinds the previouslyannounced February 16, 2007 period to file post-technical conference comments with the Commission. Instead, commentors should submit their comments with the CAISO, consistent with the directions given by the CAISO in its February 7, 2007 market notice,2 in anticipation of the CAISO preparation of a tariff filing under section 205 3 of the Federal Power Act setting forth a methodology for allocating transmission import capacity in conjunction with resource adequacy requirements in the MRTU Tariff.
