20844 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 80 / Thursday, April 26, 2007 / Notices 

Further, if an intervener 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. A copy of any 

motion to intervene must also be served 

upon each representative of the 

Applicant specified in the particular 

application. 

k. Description of Request: The 

licensee proposes to: (1) Move the 

diversion structure about 54 feet 

downstream from the authorized 

location, and change the height of the 

structure from 10 to 15 feet, which 

would change the surface area of the 

impoundment from 0.25 to about 0.30 

acre, and its volume from 1.0 to 1.1 

acre-feet; (2) extend the access road 

about 800 feet on the north side of 

Kasidaya Creek, cross over the creek 

with a 50-foot-long modular bridge, and 

then construct an additional 400 feet of 

road on the south side of the creek, to 

access the diversion structure; (3) 

instead of the authorized 675 foot-long 

tunnel between the diversion structure 

and the penstock, install a penstock that 

would be buried adjacent to the 

proposed extended access road; (4) 

install a pneumatic-operated gate 

instead of a spillway with a fixed 

concrete crest; (5) eliminate the quay at 

the marine access facilities; and (6) 

decrease the length of the jetty from 250 

to 200 feet. The corridor of the proposed 

extension of the access road and 

penstock would be in the same vicinity 

of the upper segment of penstock that 

was originally proposed under the 

license. These modifications would 

require changing the amount of federal 

lands occupied by the project from 

11.05 acres to 12.14 acres. 

l. Locations of the Application: A 

copy of the application is available for 

inspection and reproduction at the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room,
