to intervene, protests and comments using the Commission's eFiling 
system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. Commenters can

    k. Description of Request: The licensee proposes to surrender the 
project. No ground disturbance is associated with the proposed 
surrender and project features will remain in place. To maintain lake 
levels, releases will be through the spillway gates and not through the 
powerhouse. The licensee has determined that a combination of a lower 
cost of competing renewable resources and the cost of obtaining a new 
license make it uneconomical to continue operating the project. The 
current license expires on June 30, 2022.
