(TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, you may submit a paper copy. 
Submissions sent via the U.S. Postal Service must be addressed to: 
Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426. Submissions sent via 
any other carrier must be addressed to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 12225 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville,

considered part of the Commission record.
    k. Description of Request: On November 21, 2013, the Commission 
issued a new license for the Scotland Project with the boundary around 
the project reservoir at a contour elevation of 127 feet USGS datum. 
The approved boundary line is shown on the project's current Exhibit G 
(project boundary) drawings. The licensee seeks Commission approval of 
revised Exhibit G drawings that show a modified project boundary, based 
on improvements to the project's survey and property rights 
information. The modified boundary would remain at the 127-foot contour 
around the reservoir; however, the more accurate boundary line would 
enclose either more or less lands in certain areas to better follow the 
contour. The licensee also proposes boundary revisions near the dam and 
powerhouse to ensure all project facilities (e.g., fish passage, access 
road, switchyard, etc.) are fully enclosed within the boundary. The 
revised exhibit drawings do not modify the licensee's property rights 
under the project license.
    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 whose name appears 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.
    l. Locations of the Application: The Commission provides all 
interested persons an opportunity to view and/or print the contents of 
this document via the internet through the Commission's website at 
http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/elibrary.asp. Enter the docket number

You may also register online at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp to be notified via email of new filings and issuances 
related to this or other pending projects. Copies of the filing can be

    n. Comments, Protests, or Motions to Intervene: Anyone may submit 
comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211, 
.214, respectively. In determining the appropriate action to take, the 
Commission will consider all protests or other comments filed, but only 
those who file a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
Commission's Rules may become a party to the proceeding. Any comments, 
protests, or motions to intervene must be received on or before the

evidentiary basis. Any filing made by an intervenor must be accompanied
