8418 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 26 / Wednesday, February 7, 2024 / Notices 

1The Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure provide that if a deadline falls on a 

Saturday, Sunday, holiday, or other day when the 

Commission is closed for business, the deadline 

does not end until the close of business on the next 

business day. 18 CFR 385.2007(a)(2). Because the 

deadline for filing a license application fell on a 

Sunday (i.e., July 31, 2022), the deadline was 

extended until the close of business on Monday, 

August 1, 2022. 

(2) You can also file your comments

electronically using the eFiling feature 

on the Commission’s website 

(www.ferc.gov) under the link to FERC 

Online. With eFiling, you can provide 

comments in a variety of formats by 

attaching them as a file with your 

submission. New eFiling users must 

first create an account by clicking on 

‘‘eRegister.’’ You must select the type of 

filing you are making. If you are filing 

a comment on a particular project, 

please select ‘‘Comment on a Filing’’; or 

(3) You can file a paper copy of your

comments by mailing them to the 

Commission. Be sure to reference the 

project docket number (CP23–542–000) 

on your letter. Submissions sent via the 

U.S. Postal Service must be addressed 

to: Debbie-Anne A. Reese, Acting 

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 

1A, Washington, DC 20426. 

Submissions sent via any other carrier 

must be addressed to: Debbie-Anne A. 

Reese, Acting Secretary, Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 12225 Wilkins 

Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852. 

Filing environmental comments will 

not give you intervenor status, but you 

do not need intervenor status to have 

your comments considered. Only 

intervenors have the right to seek 

rehearing or judicial review of the 

Commission’s decision. At this point in 

this proceeding, the timeframe for filing 

timely intervention requests has 

expired. Any person seeking to become 

a party to the proceeding must file a 

motion to intervene out-of-time 

pursuant to Rule 214(b)(3) and (d) of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedures (18 CFR 385.214(b)(3) and 

(d)) and show good cause why the time 

limitation should be waived. Motions to 

intervene are more fully described at 

https://www.ferc.gov/how-intervene. 

Additional information about the 

project is available from the 

Commission’s Office of External Affairs, 

at (866) 208–FERC, or on the FERC 

website (www.ferc.gov) using the 

eLibrary link. The eLibrary link also 

provides access to the texts of all formal 

documents issued by the Commission, 

such as orders, notices, and 

rulemakings. 

The Commission’s Office of Public 

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful 

public engagement and participation in 

Commission proceedings. OPP can help 

members of the public, including 

landowners, environmental justice 

communities, Tribal members and 

others, access publicly available 

information and navigate Commission 

processes. For public inquiries and 

assistance with making filings such as 

interventions, comments, or requests for 

rehearing, the public is encouraged to 

contact OPP at (202) 502–6595 or OPP@

ferc.gov. 

In addition, the Commission offers a 

free service called eSubscription which 

allows you to keep track of all formal 

issuances and submittals in specific 

dockets. This can reduce the amount of 

time you spend researching proceedings 

by automatically providing you with 

notification of these filings, document 

summaries, and direct links to the 

documents. Go to https://www.ferc.gov/ 

ferc-online/overview to register for 

eSubscription.

698.78 feet NGVD29; (3) a short 

entrance channel excavated in rock near

leads, a 60-foot-long section of 5-kV 

underground cable leading to a 4.16/23- 

kV transformer in an outdoor substation; 

and (9) appurtenant facilities. The 

average annual generation was 19,524 

megawatt-hours for the period from 

2015 to 2019. 

The Townsend Project operates in a 

run-of-river mode with a continuous 

minimum flow of 304 cubic feet per 

second (cfs), or inflow, whichever is 

less. The flow for operating a single unit 

is 600 cfs and minimum river flow for 

the project operation is 904 cfs. There is 

minimal to no available usable storage 

behind the dam and if river flow is less 

than 904 cfs, all water is spilled over the 

dam. The project is typically operated 

automatically, but manual operation 

may occur during dynamic high-water 

events. The project is returned to 

automatic operation when flow 

decreases.
