k. Description of Request: The existing
licensed project consists of (1) A 784foot-long and 125-foot-high concrete
arch dam; (2) an 800-surface-acre
reservoir, which operates at a minimum
water surface elevation of 1,090 feet msl
from June 21 through October 31, 1,085
feet msl from November 1 through
March 31, and 1092.5 ± 0.5 feet msl

14-foot-diameter penstocks between 232
and 300 feet long; and (4) a powerhouse
with three generating units totaling
29.08 megawatts installed capacity.
The licensee proposes to amend the
license to implement the following: (1)
To operate the reservoir on non-holiday
weekdays from June 21 through October
31, between water surface elevations of
1,089 and 1,093 feet msl, a change from

There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below, file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
14 copies of filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy to
the applicant and to every other party in
the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the party or parties directly involved in

and interventions in lieu of paper using
the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at https://
www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file
electronically should submit an original
and 14 copies of the protest or
intervention to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First

‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is available for
review in the Commission’s Public
Reference Room in Washington, DC.
There is an ‘‘eSubscription’’ link on the
Web site that enables subscribers to
