sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
On June 2, 2010, Hampshire Paper
Company (Hampshire Paper), licensee
for the Emeryville Hydroelectric Project
No. 2850, filed an application for a new
license for the project pursuant to
Section 15(b)(1) of the Federal Power
Act (Act). The license application was
untimely filed and is hereby rejected.1
The project is located on the
mainstem of the Oswegatchie River at
approximate river mile 70 in the hamlet
of Emeryville, town of Fowler, St.
Lawrence County New York. The
project consists of: (1) A 22-foot-high
concrete gravity dam with a 185-footlong overflow spillway equipped with
2.4-foot-high flashboards and a 4-footwide minimum flow rectangular weir
with a minimum elevation of 584.2 feet
mean sea level (msl); (2) a 35-acre
1 Hampshire Paper was issued a major license for
the project on June 17, 1982, for a term of 30 years,
effective the first day of the month in which the
order was issued. 19 FERC ¶ 62,491 (1982). The
license therefore expired on May 31, 2012, and the
statutory deadline for filing a new license
application was May 31, 2010. See § 15(c)(1), 16
U.S.C. 808(c)(1). Since May 31 was a legal holiday,
the deadline for filing a new license application
was the first business day following that day, June
1, 2010. See 18 CFR 385.2007 (2009).

reservoir with a normal water surface
elevation of 586.6 feet msl; (3) a 37-footlong by 33-foot-wide reinforced concrete
intake structure equipped with four
headgates connected to; (4) a 123-footlong by 21-foot-wide steel reinforced
wooden power flume equipped with a
trashrack with 2-inch clear spacing
connected to; (5) a 60-foot-long by 14foot-diameter steel penstock leading to;
(6) a powerhouse containing a single
generating unit with a rated capacity of
3,481 kilowatts for an estimated average
annual generation of 18,400 megawatthours; (7) an 80-foot-long, 23-kilovolt
transmission line; and (8) appurtenant
facilities.
As a result of the rejection of
Hampshire Paper’s application and
pursuant to Section 16.25 of the
Commission’s regulations, the
Commission is soliciting license
applications from potential applicants.
This is necessary because the deadline
for filing an application for new license
and any competing license applications,
pursuant to Section 16.9 of the
Commission’s regulations was June 1,
2010, and no other applications for
license for this project were filed. With
this notice, we are waiving those parts
of Section 16.24(a) and 16.25(a) which
bar an existing licensee that missed the
two-year application filing deadline
from filing another application. Further,
since Hampshire Paper completed the
consultation requirements pursuant to
Part 5 of the Integrated Licensing
Process, we are waiving the consultation
requirements in Section 16.8 for the
existing licensee. Consequently,
Hampshire Paper will be allowed to
refile a license application and compete
for the license and the incumbent
preference established by the FPA
Section 15(a)(2) will apply.2
The licensee is required to make
available certain information described
in Section 16.7 of the regulations. For
more information from the licensee,
please contact Mr. Michael McDonald,
Facility Manager, Hampshire Paper
Company, Inc., P.O. Box 339,

Pursuant to Section 16.25(b), a
potential applicant that files a notice of
intent within 90 days from the date of
this notice: (1) May apply for a license

Commission
[Docket No. CP10–450–000]
Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas
Transmission LLC; Notice of Request
Under Blanket Authorization
June 11, 2010.
Take notice that on June 3, 2009,
Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas
Transmission LLC (KMIGT), filed in
Docket No. CP10–450–000, a prior
notice request pursuant to sections
157.205 and 157.216 of the
Commission’s regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (NGA). KMIGT seeks
authorization to abandon three 8-inch
loop pipeline segments, a total of
approximately 9,100 feet, along its Scott
City to Phillipsburg Pipeline in Rooks
County, Kansas. KMIGT proposes to
perform these activities under its
blanket certificate issued March 16,
1983, in Docket No. CP83–140–000, et
al. [22 FERC ¶ 62,330 (1983)].
Specifically, KMIGT proposes to
abandon by removal those three
segments which loop the 12-inch Scott
City to Phillipsburg Pipeline where it
crosses the South Fork Solomon River.
KMIGT states that these segments are
operationally and functionally obsolete
and that the existing 12-inch pipeline
can accommodate KMIGT’s shippers’
existing and projected future
requirements, all as more fully set forth
in the application which is on file with
the Commission and open to public
inspection.
KMIGT states that the total cost of all
facilities to be abandoned is $48,561.
The current cost to replace the three
segments is estimated to be $1,800,000.
Therefore, KMIGT proposes to abandon
by removal and sell for salvage those
segments of pipe.

Regulations, and Soliciting Applications
June 15, 2010.
On June 2, 2010, Hampshire Paper Company (Hampshire Paper),
licensee for the Emeryville Hydroelectric Project No. 2850, filed an
application for a new license for the project pursuant to Section
15(b)(1) of the Federal Power Act (Act). The license application was

on June 17, 1982, for a term of 30 years, effective the first day of
the month in which the order was issued. 19 FERC ] 62,491 (1982).
The license therefore expired on May 31, 2012, and the statutory
deadline for filing a new license application was May 31, 2010. See
Sec. 15(c)(1), 16 U.S.C. 808(c)(1). Since May 31 was a legal
holiday, the deadline for filing a new license application was the
first business day following that day, June 1, 2010. See 18 CFR
385.2007 (2009).

The project is located on the mainstem of the Oswegatchie River at
approximate river mile 70 in the hamlet of Emeryville, town of Fowler,

(8) appurtenant facilities.
As a result of the rejection of Hampshire Paper's application and
pursuant to Section 16.25 of the Commission's regulations, the
Commission is soliciting license applications from potential
applicants. This is necessary because the deadline for filing an
application for new license and any competing license applications,
pursuant to Section 16.9 of the Commission's regulations was June 1,

application filing deadline from filing another application. Further,
since Hampshire Paper completed the consultation requirements pursuant

Consequently, Hampshire Paper will be allowed to refile a license
