Download as PDF 28482 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 97 / Monday, May 21, 2007 / Notices In any event, the submission of additional factual evidence in a request for rehearing is contrary to Commission policy,4 so Rainier’s newly-submitted maps would not have been accepted to reverse staff’s rejection of the application.5 It appears moreover that Rainier late filed 6 its permit application 7 in competition with the preliminary permit application filed by Don L. Hansen in Project No. 12685. This notice constitutes final agency action. Request for rehearing this rejection notice must be filed within 30 days of the date of issuance of this notice, pursuant to 18 CFR 385.713 (2006). Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary. [FR Doc.

See also, e.g., Koch Gateway Pipeline Company, 75 FERC ¶ 61,132 at 61,456 (1996) (explaining general policy against receipt of additional information on rehearing). 5 Furthermore, the new maps did not cure the deficiencies in Rainier’s permit application in that they do not include a project boundary that encloses all project features, including the reservoir, and they do not delineate all project features, including the project’s dam, intake structure, and transmission line, as section 4.81(d) of the Commission’s regulations requires. 6 The August 10, 2006 notice of Mr. Hanson’s application required the filing of competing permit applications by 30 days following October 10, 2006, i.e., by Thursday, November 9, 2006. Rainier filed its competing application after business hours on November 9, 2006. Under 18 CFR 385.2001(c)(2) (2006), any document received after regular business hours is considered filed on the next business day. Since Friday, November 10, 2006, was a holiday, the next business day was Monday, November 13, 2006. 7 Finally, Rainier filed its application electronically, which is prohibited by 18 CFR 385.2003(c)(1)(i) (2006), since preliminary permit applications are not included among the documents that are qualified for electronic filing.
