l. This application has been accepted 

for filing and is now ready for 

environmental analysis. 

m. The license applicant must file no 

later than 60 days following the date of 

issuance of this notice: (1) A copy of the 

water quality certification; (2) a copy of 

the request for certification, including 

proof of the date on which the certifying 

agency received the request; or (3) 

evidence of waiver of the water quality 

certification. 

n. Cooperating Agencies: We are 

asking Federal, State, and local agencies 

and Indian Tribes with jurisdiction and/ 

or special expertise with respect to 

environmental issues to cooperate with 

us in the preparation of the 

environmental document. Agencies who 

would like to request cooperating status 

should follow the instructions for filing 

comments described in item p below. 

Cooperating agencies should note the 

Commission’s policy that agencies that 

cooperate in the preparation of the 

environmental document cannot also 

intervene. See 94 FERC ¶ 61,076 (2001). 

o. Due to the small size and remote 

location of this project, the applicant’s 

close coordination with Tribal, State, 

and Federal agencies during the 

preparation of the application, and the 

lack of any study requests submitted 

during pre-filing consultation, we 

intend to waive scoping and shorten the 

filing and comment date on final terms 

and conditions, recommendations, and 

prescriptions. Based on a review of the 

application, resource agency 

consultation letters, and comments filed 

to date, Commission staff intends to 

prepare a single environmental 

assessment (EA). Commission staff 

determined that the issues that need to 

be addressed in its EA have been 

adequately identified during the prefiling period for the application, which 

included a public meeting and site visit, 

and no new issues are likely to be 

identified through additional scoping. 

p. Deadline for filing motions to 

intervene and protests, comments, terms 

and conditions, recommendations, and 

prescriptions: The project was originally 

noticed on February 9, 2011, with the 

60-day timeframe specified in 18 CFR 

4.34(b) for filing motions to intervene 

and protests, comments, terms and 

conditions, recommendations, and 

prescriptions shortened to 30 days due 

to the small size and remote location of 

this project, as well as the applicant’s 

close coordination with the Tribal Fish 

and Wildlife Department, Bureau of 

Indian Affairs Irrigation, the ShoshoneBannock Tribes Cultural Resources/ 

Heritage Tribal Office, the Army Corps 

of Engineers, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, the Idaho Department of 

Environmental Quality, Idaho Fish and 

Game, and the Idaho State Historic 

Preservation Office in the preparation of 

the application. The deadline for filing 

motions to intervene and protests, 

comments, terms and conditions, 

recommendations, and prescriptions has 

been extended 14 days from the 

issuance of this notice to March 23, 

2011. All reply comments must be filed 

with the Commission within 45 days 

from the date of this notice. 

All documents may be filed 

electronically via the Internet in lieu of 

paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) 

and the instructions on the 

Commission’s Web site (http:// 

www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ferconline.asp) 

under the ‘‘eFiling’’ link. For a simpler 

method of submitting text only 

comments, click on ‘‘eComment.’’ For 

assistance, please contact FERC Online 

Support at 

FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov; call tollfree at (866) 208–3676; or, for TTY, 

contact (202) 502–8659. Although the 

Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filing, documents may also be 

paper-filed. To paper-file, mail an 

original and eight copies to: Kimberly D. 

Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First 

Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

The Commission’s Rules of Practice 

require all intervenors filing documents 

with the Commission to serve a copy of 

that document on each person 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.
