send a paper copy to: Secretary, Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426. 

The first page of any filing should 

include docket number P–2618–030 and 

P–2618–031. 

k. Description of Request: The 

licensee filed a Fishway Operation and 

Maintenance Plan pursuant to Article 

409 of the project license and a Fishway 

Evaluation Plan pursuant to Article 410 

of the project license. Both plans only 

address fish passage and effectiveness 

evaluation at the project’s West Branch 

development; these plans do not 

address passage and evaluation at the 

Sysladobsis development—because of 

the licensee’s pending amendment 

application (filed January 31, 2017) to 

remove the Sysladobsis development 

from the project license. The Fishway 

Operation and Maintenance Plan filed 

pursuant to Article 409 describes the 

fish species that would be passed and 

how the licensee would operate the 

fishway to ensure effectiveness. Under 

Article 409, the licensee and the 

resource agencies were unable to reach 

a consensus on which species to pass, 

therefore, the Commission will evaluate 

the record to make a determination on 

this issue. The Fishway Evaluation Plan 

filed pursuant to Article 410 provides a 

framework for evaluating the 

effectiveness of the fishway to those 

species selected for passage after 

operation of the fishway commences. 

l. Locations of the Application: A 

copy of the application is available for 

inspection and reproduction at the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room, 

located at 888 First Street NE, Room 2A, 

Washington, DC 20426, or by calling 

202–502–8371. This filing may also be

n. Comments, Protests, or Motions to 

Intervene: Anyone may submit 

comments, a protest, or a motion to 

intervene in accordance with the 

requirements of Rules of Practice and 

Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211, .214. 

In determining the appropriate action to 

take, the Commission will consider all 

protests or other comments filed, but 

only those who file a motion to

Commission’s Rules may become a 

party to the proceeding. Any comments,

all capital letters the title COMMENTS;

heading the name of the applicant and

which the filing responds; (3) furnish 

the name, address, and telephone

with the requirements of 18 CFR 

385.2001 through 385.2005. All 

comments, motions to intervene, or 

protests must set forth their evidentiary 

basis and otherwise comply with the 

requirements of 18 CFR 4.34(b). All 

comments, motions to intervene, or 

protests should relate to the Fishway 

Operation and Maintenance Plan and 

Fishway Evaluation Plan. Agencies may 

obtain copies of plans directly from the 

applicant. A copy of any protest or 

motion to intervene must be served 

upon each representative of the 

applicant specified in the particular 

application. 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 all 

other filings in reference to this 

application must be accompanied by
