Comments 

Any person wishing to comment on 

the project may do so. Comments may 

include statements of support or 

objections, to the project as a whole or 

specific aspects of the project. The more 

specific your comments, the more useful 

they will be. 

Protests 

Pursuant to sections 157.10(a)(4) 2 and 

385.211 3 of the Commission’s 

regulations under the NGA, any person 4

may file a protest to the application. 

Protests must comply with the 

requirements specified in section 

385.2001 5 of the Commission’s

a motion to intervene so long as the 

protestor states it also seeks to be an 

intervenor. 

To ensure that your comments or 

protests are timely and properly 

recorded, please submit your comments 

on or before December 3, 2024. 

There are three methods you can use 

to submit your comments or protests to 

the Commission. In all instances, please 

reference the Project docket number 

CP25–10–000 in your submission. 

(1) You may file your comments 

electronically by using the eComment

Persons who comment on the 

environmental review of this project 

will be placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, and will 

receive notification when the 

environmental documents (EA or EIS) 

are issued for this project and will be 

notified of meetings associated with the 

Commission’s environmental review 

process. 

The Commission considers all 

comments received about the project in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken. However, 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. For instructions on how to 

intervene, see below. 

Interventions 

Any person, which includes 

individuals, organizations, businesses, 

municipalities, and other entities,6 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 7 and the regulations under 

the NGA 8 by the intervention deadline 

for the project, which is December 3, 

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.

motion to intervene. In both instances, 

please reference the Project docket 

number CP25–10–000 in your 

submission. 

(1) You may file your motion to 

intervene by using the Commission’s 

eFiling feature, which is located on the 

Commission’s website (www.ferc.gov)

All timely, unopposed 9 motions to 

intervene are automatically granted by 

operation of Rule 214(c)(1).10 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.11

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. 

Tracking the Proceeding 

Throughout the proceeding, 

additional information about the project 

will be available from the Commission’s 

Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208–

Beaver Falls Hydroelectric Project No. 

1922. The project is located on Beaver 

Falls Creek in Ketchikan Gateway 

Borough, Alaska. Commission staff has 

prepared an Environmental Assessment 

(EA) for the project. 

The EA contains the staff’s analysis of 

the potential environmental impacts of 

the project and concludes that licensing 

the project, with appropriate 

environmental protective measures, 

would not constitute a major Federal 

action that would significantly affect the 

quality of the human environment.
