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,

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 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, they 
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    k. Description of Request: The licensee proposes to replace and 
refurbish project equipment which would require an amendment to the 
license to update the project description (Exhibit A), Exhibit F 
drawings, and the Article 404 Flow Continuation Plan to reflect the 
proposed project modifications and describe the method for delivering 
water to the Crystal Lake Hatchery during an extended project outage. 
The licensee proposes to replace generating equipment (Unit 3) and to 
decommission Units 1 and 2. The project currently consists of two 
powerhouses containing generating units with rated capacities of 1,600 
kilowatts (kW) and 400 kW. The upgraded project generating equipment 
would consist of a new turbine generator with a rated capacity of 1,822 
kW and the generating unit would be housed in a single powerhouse (Unit 
3). The second powerhouse and its generating equipment (Unit 1 and 2) 
would be decommissioned. The applicant states the major generating 
equipment (turbine, generator, and governor) is reaching the end of its 
service life and needs replacement. Additionally, the penstock leading 
to the primary powerhouse that would be used to house the upgraded 
generating equipment requires repairs to provide extended service life. 
The proposed changes to the generating equipment would result in an 
increase in the maximum hydraulic capacity of less than 15 percent and 
an increase in name-plate capacity of less than 2 megawatts.
    l. Locations of the Application: This filing may be viewed on the 
Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''

    m. Individuals desiring to be included on the Commission's mailing 
list should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission.
    n. Comments, Protests, or Motions to Intervene: Anyone may submit

requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211,
