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

be built. The current in-stream

impoundment used for snowmaking,

Snow Lake on the North Branch

Deerfield River, would be taken offstream, and the stream channel would

be restored. Carinthia Pond, also

currently used for snowmaking, 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.

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.

Effective August 31, 2007, the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC

or Commission) will issue notices of

(2) refund reports, (3) compliance filing

and (4) waiver requests (collectively,

natural gas filings) using the RP docket

As of this date, the Secretary of the

changes to the filing procedures for

natural gas filings:

1. Filers are no longer required to

include a draft form of notice or diskette

containing that form of notice for any

RP-docketed application, compliance

filing, refund report, or waiver request.

2. Filers requesting a shortened

comment period for the filing must

clearly state such request in the title or

heading for the filing. For example:

shortened comment period

The notices issued under this method

for RP dockets will be added to eLibrary

and published in the Federal Register

under the name ‘‘Combined Notice of

gas filings added to eLibrary since

publication of the last notice. Each filing

will be listed with its identifying details
