Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 225 / Tuesday, November 21, 2000 / Notices 69933

k. Public Service Company of

Colorado (licensee) filed a proposed

recreation and land management plan

for the Tacomo Development of the

Tacoma-Ames Hydroelectric Project.

The Tacoma Development includes

Electra Lake (a project reservoir) and the

surrounding lands within the project

boundary. Under a long-standing lease

agreement with the licensee, the Electra

Sporting Club (ESC) occupies portions

of project lands at Electra Lake and,

pursuant to the project’s existing

recreation plan, is responsible for the

management of public recreation use

and development at Electra Lake. The

licensee filed the proposed plan in

response to a condition of a previously

executed land acquisition agreement

involving a portion of project lands.

The proposed plan establishes the

licensee’s future management practices

and guidelines for public recreation and

private development at Electra Lake and

the adjoining project lands. The

proposed plan is intended to ensure that

recreation use and private development

at Electra Lake is consistent with

hydroelectric operations, the terms and

conditions of the project license,

including the project’s existing

recreation plan, the lease agreement

between the licensee and the ESC, and

all other applicable Federal, state, and

local laws and regulations. The

proposed plan contains provisions

addressing existing and future private

development, public recreation use and

opportunities, and the preservation of

natural resources, including scenic and

environmental values, at Electra Lake

and the adjoining project lands.

l. A copy of the proposed plan is

available for inspection and

reproduction at the Commission’s

Public Reference Room at 888 First

Street, NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC

20426, or by calling (202) 208–1371.

The application may be viewed on the

web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/

rims.htm. Call (202) 208–2222 for

assistance. A copy is also available for

inspection and reproduction at the

address in item (h) above.

m. Individuals desiring to be included

on the Commission’s mailing list should

so indicate by writing to the Secretary

of the Commission.

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

accordance with the Commission’s

Rules may become a party to the

proceeding. Any comments, protests, or
