any filing should include docket
number P–2207–050. Comments

considered part of the Commission
record.

filing documents with the Commission
to serve a copy of that document on
each person whose name appears on the

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

k. Description of Request: The
licensee proposes to replace the Unit
No. 1 runner with a runner of the same
fixed-blade propeller design and outer
diameter, and update the project’s
automation, including replacing the
Unit No. 1 governor, installing a SCADA
system, and installing video systems for
remote monitoring. The proposal would
increase the installed capacity of Unit
No. 1 from 1,800 to 2,250 kilowatts
(kW). The licensee is not proposing
changes to the other two units, and no
ground disturbing activity would occur.
Under the proposed amendment, the
project’s authorized installed capacity

and the total hydraulic capacity would
increase from 2,250 to 2,720 cubic feet
per second.

the project was ready for environmental
analysis (REA Notice). Based on the
information in the record, including
comments filed on the REA Notice, staff
does not anticipate that licensing the
project would constitute a major federal
action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment. Therefore,
staff intends to prepare a draft and final
Environmental Assessment (EA) on the
application to relicense the Phoenix
Project.
The EA will be issued and circulated
for review by all interested parties. All
comments filed on the EA will be
analyzed by staff and considered in the
Commission’s final licensing decision.
The application will be processed
according to the following schedule.
Revisions to the schedule may be made
as appropriate.
