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.

Commission decisional employees, who

Commission a copy of the
communication, if written, or a
summary of the substance of any oral
communication.
Prohibited communications are
included in a public, non-decisional file

Unless the Commission determines that
the prohibited communication and any
responses thereto should become a part
of the decisional record, the prohibited

the Commission place the prohibited
communication and responses thereto
in the decisional record. The
Commission will grant such a request
only when it determines that fairness so
requires. Any person identified below as
having made a prohibited off-the-record
communication shall serve the
document on all parties listed on the

Effective August 31, 2007, the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC
or Commission) will issue notices of

VerDate Aug<31>2005

natural gas: (1) Rate filings/applications,
(2) refund reports, (3) compliance filing
and (4) waiver requests (collectively,
natural gas filings) using the RP docket
number prefix through its Combined
Notice of Filings method, already in
place for most electric rate filings.
As of this date, the Secretary of the
Commission is making the following
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:
Re: (Name of Natural Gas Pipeline)
Docket No. RP07–lll
(Title/Description) and Request for
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
Filings.’’ These notices will list natural
gas filings added to eLibrary since
publication of the last notice. Each filing
will be listed with its identifying details
