In lieu of electronic filing, you may submit a paper copy. Submissions sent via the U.S. Postal Service must be addressed to: Debbie-Anne A. Reese, 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, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 12225 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852. The first page of any filing should include the docket number P-1175-025. Comments emailed to Commission staff are not considered part of the Commission record.                

The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of that document on each person whose name appears on the official service list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.

                    l.                     *Description of Request:*                     The licensee proposes revising the project boundary associated with the Marmet Development's transmission line. The Marmet Development currently includes two, 46-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines (                    *i.e.,*                     circuits) within a single 0.78-mile-long transmission line corridor, which crosses the Kanawha River to its interconnection point at the Belle Substation. To accommodate revised U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' standards, the licensee is proposing to replace two existing tower structures and a portion of the existing transmission circuits, including the portion that crosses the Kanawha River, and to install a new tower structure and new transmission circuits. This proposed modification would change the length of the transmission line right-of-way portion of the corridor to 0.74 miles long. The proposal would add approximately 3.61 acres to the project boundary and remove approximately 1.64 acres, for a net increase of 1.97 acres. The licensee states that the relocation of the transmission line would not change licensed project operations or require in-stream work. The area for the two poles being replaced is disturbed and within the project boundary. The new pole is outside of the project boundary; however, the licensee states land immediately adjacent to the river where the new pole would be located has been substantially modified.                

                    m.                     *Locations of the Application:*                     This filing may be viewed on the Commission's website at                     *http://www.ferc.gov*                     using the “eLibrary” link.

In determining the appropriate action to take, the Commission will consider all protests 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 motions to intervene must be received on or before the specified comment date for the particular application.                

                    p.                     *Filing and Service of Documents:*                     Any filing must (1) bear in all capital letters the title “COMMENTS”, “PROTEST”, or “MOTION TO INTERVENE” as applicable; (2) set forth in the heading the name of the applicant and the project number of the application to which the filing responds; (3) furnish the name, address, and telephone number of the person commenting, protesting or intervening; and (4) otherwise comply with the requirements of 18 CFR 385.2001 through 385.2005.

Any filing made by an intervenor must be accompanied by proof of service on all persons listed in the service list prepared by the Commission in this proceeding, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.2010.
