Please include the project number (p-2662-022) on any comments,

    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.
    k. Description of Request: The licensee's recreation plan proposes 
to relocate the existing tailrace fishing access area from the east 
bank of the Shetucket River (river), as required by Article 416, to the 
west bank of the river. The proposed change in location is due to the 
presence of an existing railroad that runs parallel to the shoreline. 
The railroad prohibits the public from to crossing railroad property to 
access the east bank for fishing due to safety concerns. Consequently, 
the informal path to the river has been closed. If the recreation plan 
is approved, the licensee would relocate the tailrace fishing access 
area to the tailrace section on the west bank of the river. The new 
site would be accessible to the public by watercraft only. The licensee 
is proposing this location to keep the fishing access area within the 
tailrace and to maintain the characteristics of its previously provided 
area.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington,
