since 1966. The 100-kW unit ceased

operating in 2005.

k. In its PAD, MeadWestvaco stated it

was evaluating its options relative to

rehabilitating the 100 kW unit, or

potentially increasing the overall

hydraulic capacity of the facility.

Pursuant to 18 CFR 5.11, MeadWestvaco

filed a Proposed Study Plan on

September 26, 2006. The plan included

a Hydropower Redevelopment Study to

evaluate the feasibility of rehabilitating

the existing facility, replacing the

generator units with newer models, or

expanding the overall facility capacity.

In its Revised Study Plan, filed January

23, 2007, MeadWestvaco withdrew the

Hydropower Redevelopment Study

proposal. Rather, MeadWestvaco now

states that it will rehabilitate the 100kW unit during 2007, and otherwise has

no plans to upgrade or expand the

project.

l. Pursuant to 18 CFR 16.7,

information on the project is available

at: Ms. Patricia C. Begrowicz,

MeadWestvaco, 40 Willow Street, South

Lee, MA 01260.

m. Willow Mill Project information is

California Independent System

Operator Corporation; Notice

Rescinding Period for Post-Technical

Conference Comments

February 9, 2007.

On February 1, 2007, staff of the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

convened a technical conference to

address issues related to the California

Independent System Operator

Corporation’s (CAISO) tariff, which

reflects the Market Redesign and

Technology Upgrade (MRTU) program.

The purpose of the technical conference

was to explore and discuss the CAISO’s

proposed methodology for allocating

transmission import capacity in

conjunction with resource adequacy

requirements in the MRTU Tariff. Two

notices were issued prior to the

technical conference providing

commentors until February 16, 2007, to

file post-technical conference comments

with the Comission.1

This notice rescinds the previouslyannounced February 16, 2007 period to

file post-technical conference comments

with the Commission. Instead,

commentors should submit their

comments with the CAISO, consistent

with the directions given by the CAISO

in its February 7, 2007 market notice,2

in anticipation of the CAISO

preparation of a tariff filing under

section 205 3 of the Federal Power Act

setting forth a methodology for

allocating transmission import capacity

in conjunction with resource adequacy

requirements in the MRTU Tariff.
