referred to as an ‘‘economically
significant’’ rule);
(2) Create serious inconsistency or
otherwise interfere with an action taken
or planned by another agency;
(3) Materially alter the budgetary
impacts of entitlement grants, user fees,
or loan programs or the rights and
obligations of recipients thereof; or
(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues
arising out of legal mandates, the
President’s priorities, or the principles
stated in the Executive order.
This final regulatory action is not a
significant regulatory action subject to
review by OMB under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866.
We have also reviewed this final
regulatory action under Executive Order
13563, which supplements and
explicitly reaffirms the principles,
structures, and definitions governing
regulatory review established in
Executive Order 12866. To the extent
permitted by law, Executive Order
13563 requires that an agency—
(1) Propose or adopt regulations only
upon a reasoned determination that
their benefits justify their costs
(recognizing that some benefits and
costs are difficult to quantify);
(2) Tailor its regulations to impose the
least burden on society, consistent with
obtaining regulatory objectives and
taking into account—among other things
and to the extent practicable—the costs
of cumulative regulations;
(3) In choosing among alternative
regulatory approaches, select those
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety,
and other advantages; distributive
impacts; and equity);
(4) To the extent feasible, specify
performance objectives, rather than the
behavior or manner of compliance a
regulated entity must adopt; and
(5) Identify and assess available
alternatives to direct regulation,
including economic incentives—such as
user fees or marketable permits—to
encourage the desired behavior, or
provide information that enables the
public to make choices.
Executive Order 13563 also requires
an agency ‘‘to use the best available
techniques to quantify anticipated
present and future benefits and costs as
accurately as possible.’’ The Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs of
OMB has emphasized that these
techniques may include ‘‘identifying
changing future compliance costs that
might result from technological
innovation or anticipated behavioral
changes.’’
We are issuing this final priority,
requirements, definitions, and selection

criteria only on a reasoned
determination that their benefits justify
their costs. In choosing among
alternative regulatory approaches, we
selected those approaches that
maximize net benefits. Based on the
analysis that follows, the Department
believes that this regulatory action is
consistent with the principles in
Executive Order 13563.
We also have determined that this
regulatory action does not unduly
interfere with State, local, and tribal
governments in the exercise of their
governmental functions.
In accordance with both Executive
orders, the Department has assessed the
potential costs and benefits, both
quantitative and qualitative, of this
regulatory action. The potential costs
are those resulting from statutory
requirements and those we have
determined as necessary for
administering the Department’s
programs and activities.
Intergovernmental Review: This
program is subject to Executive Order
12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR
part 79. One of the objectives of the
Executive order is to foster an
intergovernmental partnership and a
strengthened federalism. The Executive
order relies on processes developed by
State and local governments for
coordination and review of proposed
Federal financial assistance.
This document provides early
notification of our specific plans and
actions for this program.

k. This application has been accepted
for filing and is now ready for
environmental analysis.
l. The existing project works consists
of the following:
The London-Marmet Project consists
of two developments. The existing
London Development utilizes the head
created by the Army Corps of Engineers’
(Corps) 26-foot-high London Dam
located at river mile (RM) 82.8 on the
Kanawha River and consists of: (1) A
forebay area protected by a log boom; (2)
screened intake structures; (3) a
concrete powerhouse containing three
turbine-generator units with a total
installed capacity of 14.4 megawatts
(MW); (4) a tailrace 420 feet long; (5)
two 0.38-mile-long, 46-kilovolt (kV)
transmission lines; and (6) other
appurtenances. The development
generates about 84,048 megawatt-hours
(MWh) annually.
The existing Marmet Development
utilizes the head created by the Corps’
34-foot-high Marmet Dam located at RM
67.7 on the Kanawha River and consists
of: (1) A forebay area protected by a log
boom; (2) screened intake structures; (3)
a concrete powerhouse containing three
turbine-generator units with a total
installed capacity of 14.4 MW; (4) a
tailrace 450 feet long (5) one 0.82-milelong, 46-kV transmission line and one
0.98-mile-long, 46-kV transmission line;
and (6) other appurtenances. The
development generates about 82,302
MWh annually. The London/Marmet
Project has a total installed capacity of
28.8 MW and generates about 166,350
MWh annually
The existing Winfield Project utilizes
the head created by the Corps’ 38-foothigh Winfield Dam located at RM 31.1
on the Kanawha River and consists of:
(1) A forebay area protected by a 410foot-long log boom; (2) screened intake
structures; (3) a concrete powerhouse
containing three turbine-generator units
with a total installed capacity of 14.76
MW; (4) a tailrace 410 feet long; and (5)
other appurtenances. The project
generates about 114,090 MWh annually.
The above hydroelectric facilities’
operation is synchronized with the
operation of the Corps’ locks at each
dam. The developments at each of the
two projects operate within allowable
pool elevation limits as established by
the Corps. The London pool elevation is
allowed to fluctuate between 611.0 feet
and 614.0 feet National Geodetic
Vertical Datum 1929 (NGVD). The
Marmet pool elevation is allowed to
fluctuate between 589.7 feet and 590.0
feet NGVD. The Winfield pool elevation
is allowed to fluctuate between 565.8
feet and 566.0 feet NGVD. All three
pools can be drawn down at a maximum
rate of 0.5 feet per hour. When stream
flow exceeds the maximum turbine
discharge, the responsibility for control
of the pool elevations passes to the
Corps’ personnel and the projects
operate in run-of-release mode.
Appalachian is proposing to modify the
maximum pool elevation limit at the
London Development from 614.0 feet to
613.7 feet NGVD.

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 7 copies of filings
made in the proceeding with the
Commission and must mail a copy to
the applicant and to every other party.
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.
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 7 copies of the protest or
intervention to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
NE., Washington, DC 20426.
This filing is accessible on-line at
https://www.ferc.gov, using the
‘‘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

particular resource agency, they must also serve a copy of the document
on that resource agency.
k. This application has been accepted for filing and is now ready
for environmental analysis.
l. The existing project works consists of the following:
The London-Marmet Project consists of two developments. The
existing London Development utilizes the head created by the Army Corps
of Engineers' (Corps) 26-foot-high London Dam located at river mile
(RM) 82.8 on the Kanawha River and consists of: (1) A forebay area
protected by a log boom; (2) screened intake structures; (3) a concrete
powerhouse containing three turbine-generator units with a total
installed capacity of 14.4 megawatts (MW); (4) a tailrace 420 feet
long; (5) two 0.38-mile-long, 46-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines; and
(6) other appurtenances. The development generates about 84,048
megawatt-hours (MWh) annually.
The existing Marmet Development utilizes the head created by the
Corps' 34-foot-high Marmet Dam located at RM 67.7 on the Kanawha River
and consists of: (1) A forebay area protected by a log boom; (2)
screened intake structures; (3) a concrete powerhouse containing three
turbine-generator units with a total installed capacity of 14.4 MW; (4)
a tailrace 450 feet long (5) one 0.82-mile-long, 46-kV transmission
line and one 0.98-mile-long, 46-kV transmission line; and (6) other
appurtenances. The development generates about 82,302 MWh annually. The
London/Marmet Project has a total installed capacity of 28.8 MW and
generates about 166,350 MWh annually
The existing Winfield Project utilizes the head created by the
Corps' 38-foot-high Winfield Dam located at RM 31.1 on the Kanawha
River and consists of: (1) A forebay area protected by a 410-foot-long
log boom; (2) screened intake structures; (3) a concrete powerhouse
containing three turbine-generator units with a total installed
capacity of 14.76 MW; (4) a tailrace 410 feet long; and (5) other
appurtenances. The project generates about 114,090 MWh annually.
The above hydroelectric facilities' operation is synchronized with
the operation of the Corps' locks at each dam. The developments at each
of the two projects operate within allowable pool elevation limits as
established by the Corps. The London pool elevation is allowed to
fluctuate between 611.0 feet and 614.0 feet National Geodetic Vertical
Datum 1929 (NGVD). The Marmet pool elevation is allowed to fluctuate
between 589.7 feet and 590.0 feet NGVD. The Winfield pool elevation is
allowed to fluctuate between 565.8 feet and 566.0 feet NGVD. All three
pools can be drawn down at a maximum rate of 0.5 feet per hour. When
stream flow exceeds the maximum turbine discharge, the responsibility
for control of the pool elevations passes to the Corps' personnel and
