Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 227 / Friday, November 27, 2009 / Notices
Pursuant to section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the
Commission staff will either: Complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and
place it into the Commission’s public
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review. If a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review is
issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission staff’s issuance of the final
environmental impact statement (FEIS)
or EA for this proposal. The filing of the
EA in the Commission’s public record
for this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review will serve to notify Federal and
State agencies of the timing for the
completion of all necessary reviews, and
the subsequent need to complete all
Federal authorizations within 90 days of
the date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s FEIS or EA.
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
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
VerDate Nov<24>2008
18:08 Nov 25, 2009
Jkt 220001
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
project should submit an original and
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents,
and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission’s
environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be
required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commentors
will not receive copies of all documents
filed by other parties or issued by the
Commission (except for the mailing of
environmental documents issued by the
Commission) and will not have the right
to seek court review of the
Commission’s final order.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings of comments, protests
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 Street,
NE., Washington, DC 20426.

Wisconsin. The proposed MenashaNeenah Project would be located at the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)
Fox River Menasha Locks Dam near
Menasha, Wisconsin and at the Neenah
Paper Company’s Neenah Dam near
Neenah, Wisconsin.

competing applications was November
4, 2009. Coastal Hydropower’s
competing permit application is timely
filed.
The proposed project would consist
of: (1) Modifying the fixed weir section
of Menasha Locks Dam to incorporate
eight very low head (VLH) turbinegenerators with a total installed capacity
of about 4 megawatts (MW); (2) a new
300-foot-long transmission line (TL)
which would deliver power from the
turbines at Menasha Locks Dam to a tiein at an existing overhead 12.0 kilovolt
(kV) TL owned by Menasha Public
Works and located along Anhaip Street
in Menasha, Wisconsin; (3) modifying
the spillway of Neenah Dam to install
four VLH turbine-generators with a total
installed capacity of about 2 MW; (4) a
new 700-foot-long TL, which would
deliver power from the turbines at
Neenah Dam to a tie-in with an existing
underground 12.0 kV TL owned by We
Energies located at W. Wisconsin
Avenue in Neenah, Wisconsin; and (5)
appurtenant facilities. The MenashaNeenah Project would have an
estimated average annual generation of
about 31.5 gigawatt-hours, which would
be sold to a local utility.
