    j. Status of Environmental Analysis: This application is ready for 
environmental analysis at this time, and the Commission is requesting 
comments, reply comments, recommendations, terms and conditions, and 
prescriptions.
    k. Deadline for filing responsive documents: Due to the small size 
and location of the proposed project in a closed system, as well as the 
resource agency consultation letters filed with the application, the 
60-day timeframe specified in 18 CFR 4.43(b) for filing all comments, 
motions to intervene, protests, recommendations, terms and conditions, 
and prescriptions is shortened to 30 days from the issuance date of 
this notice. All reply comments filed in response to comments submitted 
by any resource agency, Indian tribe, or person, must be filed with the 
Commission within 45 days from the issuance date of this notice.
    Comments, protests, and interventions 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 under the ``e-Filing'' 
link. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.
    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of 
that document on each person in 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.
    l. Description of Project: The San Jose Water Company requests 
Commission approval for exemption for a small conduit hydroelectric 
facility. This proposal consists of adding two 55-kilowatt turbine/
generator units in parallel with a pressure reduction valve at the San 
Jose Water Company's Cox Avenue Station. The primary purpose of the 
conduit is water delivery and distribution for consumptive domestic 
use. The hydraulic capacity of each turbine will be 9.5 cubic feet per 
second and the units will have an estimated average annual generation 
of 220,000 kWh.

Commission in the Public Reference Room, Room 2A, 888 First Street,
