The variance would require a project 

reservoir drawdown of 3–4 inches 

below the dam crest over an anticipated 

two-day period. The drawdowns would 

last approximately 6 hours each day and 

the reservoir would be refilled each 

evening during the work sequence to

Flows of 200 cubic feet per second or 

greater would be passed downstream via 

the tailrace at all times.

Public Participation 

There are three ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project: you can file a protest to the 

project, you can file a motion to 

intervene in the proceeding, and you 

can file comments on the project. There 

is no fee or cost for filing protests, 

motions to intervene, or comments. The 

deadline for filing protests, motions to 

intervene, and comments is 5 p.m. 

eastern time on March 25, 2024. How to 

file protests, motions to intervene, and 

comments is explained below. 

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. 

Protests 

Pursuant to section 157.205 of the 

Commission’s regulations under the 

NGA,1 any person 2 or the Commission’s 

staff may file a protest to the request. If 

no protest is filed within the time 

allowed or if a protest is filed and then 

withdrawn within 30 days after the 

allowed time for filing a protest, the 

proposed activity shall be deemed to be 

authorized effective the day after the 

time allowed for protest. If a protest is 

filed and not withdrawn within 30 days 

after the time allowed for filing a 

protest, the instant request for 

authorization will be considered by the 

Commission. 

Protests must comply with the 

requirements specified in section 

157.205(e) of the Commission’s 

regulations,3 and must be submitted by 

the protest deadline, which is March 25, 

2024. A protest may also serve as a 

motion to intervene so long as the 

protestor states it also seeks to be an 

intervenor. 

Interventions 

Any person has the option to file a 

motion to intervene in this proceeding. 

Only intervenors have the right to 

request rehearing of Commission orders 

issued in this proceeding and to 

subsequently challenge the 

Commission’s orders in the U.S. Circuit 

Courts of Appeal. 

To intervene, you must submit a 

motion to intervene to the Commission 

in accordance with Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure 4 and the regulations under 

the NGA 5 by the intervention deadline 

for the project, which is March 25, 2024. 

As described further in Rule 214, your 

motion to intervene must state, to the 

extent known, your position regarding 

the proceeding, as well as your interest 

in the proceeding. For an individual, 

this could include your status as a 

landowner, ratepayer, resident of an 

impacted community, or recreationist. 

You do not need to have property 

directly impacted by the project in order 

to intervene. For more information 

about motions to intervene, refer to the 

FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/ 

resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp. 

All timely, unopposed motions to 

intervene are automatically granted by 

operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to 

intervene that are filed after the 

intervention deadline are untimely and 

may be denied. Any late-filed motion to 

intervene must show good cause for 

being late and must explain why the 

time limitation should be waived and 

provide justification by reference to 

factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the 

Commission’s Rules and Regulations. A 

person obtaining party status will be 

placed on the service list maintained by 

the Secretary of the Commission and 

will receive copies (paper or electronic) 

of all documents filed by the applicant 

and by all other parties. 

Comments 

Any person wishing to comment on 

the project may do so. The Commission 

considers all comments received about 

the project in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken. To 

ensure that your comments are timely 

and properly recorded, please submit 

your comments on or before March 25, 

2024. The filing of a comment alone will 

not serve to make the filer a party to the 

proceeding. To become a party, you 

must intervene in the proceeding. 

How to File Protests, Interventions, and

protests, motions to intervene, and

II. What is the Safer Choice program? 

As part of its environmental mission, 

the Safer Choice program partners with 

businesses to help consumers and 

commercial buyers identify products 

with safer chemical ingredients, without 

sacrificing quality or performance. The 

Safer Choice program certifies products 

containing ingredients that have met the 

program’s specific and rigorous human 

health and environmental toxicological 

criteria. The Safer Choice program 

allows companies to use its label on 

certified products that contain safer 

ingredients and perform, as determined 

by expert evaluation. The Safer Choice 

program certification represents a high 

level of achievement in formulating 

products that are safer for people and 

the environment. For more information 

on the Safer Choice program, please see:
