    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. Any comments, 
protests, or motion to intervene must be received on or before the 
specified comment date for the particular application.
    Any filings must bear in all capital letters the title 
``COMMENTS,'' ``RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TERMS AND CONDITIONS,'' 
``PROTEST,'' or ``MOTION TO INTERVENE,'' as applicable, and the Project 
Number of the particular application to which the filing refers. A copy 
of any motion to intervene must also be served upon each representative 
of the Applicant specified in the particular application.
    Federal, state, and local agencies are invited to file comments on 
the described application. A copy of the proposed play may be obtained 
by agencies directly from the applicant. 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.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
