gallons of water per season (October–
March) to be pumped into Mount
Snow’s snowmaking system. Somerset
Reservoir is one development of the
Deerfield River Hydroelectric Project,
owned by TransCanada Hydro
Northeast, Inc. Two pump houses, one
at Somerset Reservoir and one at the
base of Mount Snow North Face would

impoundment used for snowmaking,
Snow Lake on the North Branch
Deerfield River, would be taken offstream, and the stream channel would

serve as a short-term water transfer
station. Implementation of the proposed
project would not affect TransCanada’s
water flows or water level requirements.

Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission
[Docket No. AD07–14–000]

Hydrokinetic Pilot Project Workshop;
Supplemental Notice of Technical
Conference With Agenda and
Soliciting Comments
August 31, 2007.

On July 19th, 2007, the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission issued a
notice of a technical conference, to be
led by Commissioner Philip D. Moeller,
with Commissioner Jon Wellinghoff
participating, to be held on October 2,
2007, in Portland, Oregon. This
supplemental notice provides more
detailed information and establishes an
agenda, which is attached.
The conference will take place at the
Bonneville Power Administration’s
Auditorium, at 911 NE. 11th Ave.,
Portland, Oregon, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
(PST). All interested persons may
attend; there is no fee. Registration is
not required, but is appreciated for
planning purposes; please register at
https://www.ferc.gov/whats-new/
registration/hydrokinetic-10–07form.asp. Following the conference
there will be a 30-day written comment
period.
The purpose of the conference will be
to present Commission staff’s proposed
licensing process for hydrokinetic
energy pilot projects and to seek
feedback from representatives of
industry, state and federal agencies,
Non-Governmental Organizations,

PO 00000

Frm 00060

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

Native American tribes, and members of
the public.
The goal of the proposed process is to
complete licensing in as few as six
months, to provide for Commission
oversight and agency input, and to
allow developers to generate electricity
while testing. This process will be
available for projects that are: (1) Small
(5 MW or less), (2) removable or able to
shut down on relatively short notice, (3)
not located in waters with sensitive
designations; and (4) for the purpose of
testing new hydro technologies or
determining appropriate sites.
Staff envision the license having the
following characteristics:
• A short license term (5 years);
• A standard license condition
requiring project alteration or shutdown
in the event that monitoring reveals an
unacceptable level of environmental
effect;
• The option of applying for a 30–50
year license at the end of the license
term; and
• A standard license condition
requiring decommissioning and site
restoration at the time of license
expiration if the option is not exercised.
Transcripts of the conference will be
immediately available from Ace
Reporting Company (202–347–3700 or
1–800–336–6646) for a fee. They will be
available to the public on the
Commission’s eLibrary system seven
calendar days after FERC receives the
transcript.
All comments (original and eight
copies) should be filed with: Kimberly
D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
Comments may be filed electronically
via the Internet in lieu of paper. The
Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings. See 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions
on the Commission’s Web site (http://
www.ferc.gov) under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link.

Additional details regarding the
agenda and the pilot project licensing

Commission’s calendar located at
