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 Commissions will consider all protects or other comments filed, but only those who file a motion to intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules may become a party to the proceeding.

If an agency does not file comments within the time specified for filing comments, it will be presumed to have no comments. One copy of an agency's comments must also be sent to the Applicant's representatives.
