j. Deadline for filing comments,

of this notice.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filing. Please file comments,
motions to intervene, and protests using
the Commission’s eFiling system at
https://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/
efiling.asp. Commenters can submit
brief comments up to 6,000 characters,
without prior registration, using the
eComment system at https://
www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/
ecomment.asp. You must include your
name and contact information at the end
of your comments. For assistance,
please contact FERC Online Support at
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, (866)
208–3676 (toll free), or (202) 502–8659
(TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, please
send a paper copy to: Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426.
The first page of any filing should
include docket number P–178–045.
Comments emailed to Commission staff
are not considered part of the
Commission record.
The Commission’s Rules of Practice
and Procedure require all intervenors
filing documents with the Commission
to serve a copy of that document on
each person on the official service list
for the project. Further, if an intervenor
files comments or documents with the
Commission relating to the merits of an
issue that may affect the responsibilities
of a particular resource agency, it must
also serve a copy of the document on
that resource agency.
k. Description of Transfer and
Amendment Request: The applicants
request that the Commission transfer the
Kern Canyon Hydroelectric Project No.
178 from Pacific Gas and Electric
Company (PG&E) to Kern & Tule Hydro
LLC (KTH). The applicants also request
that the Commission remove from the
project an approximately 8.2-mile-long,
70 kilovolt (kV) transmission line that
connects the project powerhouse with
PG&E’s integrated transmission system.
The applicants state that the
transmission line segment is not used
solely to transmit power from the
project to the interconnected grid and
would remain part of the interconnected
transmission system even if the project
VerDate Sep<11>2014

did not exist. Therefore, the
transmission line segment does not
qualify as a primary transmission line
and does not need to be part of the
licensed project. The switchyard
adjacent to the powerhouse, as well as
an approximately 300-foot-long segment
of the 70–kV line running from the
project powerhouse to pole 0⁄1 will
remain in the license and will be
transferred to KTH. Furthermore, the
applicants request that the Commission
revise the project boundary to remove
47.5 acres of land which is occupied by
the transmission line corridor.
