The Secretary, Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, Mail Code: 

DHAC, PJ–12, 888 First Street NE, 

Washington, DC 20426. 

j. Description of Project Facilities: As 

authorized, the project uses the 

following existing water supply 

facilities: (1) A 5,133-foot-long, 18-inch 

diameter Salinas pipeline; (2) an 

existing 4,080-foot-long, 12-inch 

diameter San Luis Obispo City pipeline, 

which serves as the project’s penstock; 

(3) a powerhouse containing a 

generating unit with a nameplate 

capacity of 680 kilowatts; and (4) a 

transmission line that connects the 

powerhouse to an existing Pacific Gas 

and Electric Company distribution line. 

k. Description of Proceeding: The 

exemptee is in violation of Standard 

Article 1 of its exemption issued on 

January 17, 1982 (18 FERC ¶ 62,059). 

Article 1 provides, among other things, 

that the Commission may terminate an 

exemption if any term or condition of 

the exemption is violated. 

Commission records, including 

correspondence with the exemptee, 

show that the San Luis Obispo Project 

has not operated since June 1993. Since 

1995, the Commission has worked with 

the exemptee to file a plan and schedule 

to restore operation. Over the years, the 

exemptee has made many proposals to 

restart generation, but none have come 

to fruition. Most recently, on September 

19, 2017, the exemptee said it planned 

to complete new designs by June 2018 

for rebuilding portions of the project 

and would begin construction by 

December 2018. The exemptee has not 

filed its new designs and has stopped 

responding to Commission staff letters 

seeking updates. On May 24, 2018, 

Commission staff notified the exemptee 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 166 / Monday, August 27, 2018 / Notices 43673 

that failure to file a response may result 

in implied surrender of the project’s 

exemption. 

l. This notice is available for review 

and reproduction at the Commission in 

the Public Reference Room, Room 2A, 

888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 

20426. The filing may also be viewed on 

the Commission’s website at http://

All comments or protests must set forth 

their evidentiary basis. All comments, 

protests, or motions to intervene should 

relate to project works which are the 

subject of the termination of exemption. 

A copy of any protest or motion to 

intervene must be served on each 

representative of the exemptee specified 

in item g. above. A copy of all other
