All documents (original and eight
copies) should be filed with: Kimberly
D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
Comments may be filed electronically
via the Internet in lieu of paper. The
Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings. See 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions
on the Commission’s Web site (https://
www.ferc.gov) under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link.
k. The existing project generally
consists of a 211-foot-high, 256-footlong concrete arch dam, impounding the
1,225 acre Blue Lake reservoir; a 7,110
foot-long power conduit; and a

procedures is appropriate in this case.
Applicant has submitted a
communications protocol that is
supported by the stakeholders.
The purpose of this notice is to invite
any additional comments on
Applicant’s request to use the
alternative procedures, pursuant to
section 4.34(i) of the Commission’s
regulations. Additional notices seeking
comments on the specific project
proposal, interventions and protests,
and recommended terms and conditions
will be issued at a later date. Applicant
will complete and file a preliminary
Environmental Assessment, in lieu of
Exhibit E of the application. This differs
from the traditional process, in which
an applicant consults with agencies,
Indian tribes, NGOs, and other parties
during preparation of the license
application and before filing the
application, but the Commission staff
performs the environmental review after
the application is filed. The alternative
procedures are intended to simplify and
expedite the licensing process by
combining the pre-filing consultation
and environmental review processes
into a single process, to facilitate greater
participation, and to improve
communication and cooperation among
the participants.
Applicant has met with federal and
state resource agencies, NGO’s, elected
officials, environmental groups, and
members of the public regarding the
Blue Lake amendment project.
Applicant intends to conduct the
alternative licensing procedures process
to file a license amendment application
by May 2009.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
