However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commentors will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit an original 

and 5 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE., Washington, DC 20426.

The Secretary, Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, Mail Code: 

DHAC, PJ–12, 888 First Street NE., 

Washington, DC 20426. 

j. Description of Project Facilities: (a) 

An existing diversion dam on the West 

Fork Carson River with a headgate 

structure; (b) the Heimsoth Upper West 

Ditch, discharging into (c) an irrigationstock pond; (d) a 5-foot-high concrete 

intake box with a fish-debris screen; (e) 

two 850-foot-long penstocks, one 8 

inches and one 16 inches in diameter; 

(f) a 28-foot by 12-foot wood frame 

powerhouse containing two generating 

units rated at 80-kilowatts and 15- 

kilowatts, operating under a head of 130 

feet; (g) an 800-foot-long, 480-volt 

underground transmission line, 

connecting to the reversible ranch 

meter, the point of connection with the 

existing Sierra Pacific Power Company 

line; and (h) related facilities. 

k. Description of Proceeding: The 

licensee is in violation of Article 16 of 

its license, which was granted 

November 30, 1990 (53 FERC ¶ 62,202). 

Article 16 states in part: If the Licensee 

shall abandon or discontinue good faith 

operation of the project or refuse or 

neglect to comply with the terms of the 

license and the lawful orders of the 

Commission, the Commission will deem 

it to be the intent of the Licensee to 

surrender the license. 

Commission records indicate that the 

project was transferred to Mr. Richard 

Bertea by a Commission order issued 

May 6, 1991 (55 FERC ¶ 62,108). Since 

that time, the licensee (Mr. Bertea) has 

sold the project to Bently Family 

Limited Partnership around January 

1999, without getting our approval for a 

transfer of license. Since then, the 

project stopped operating around the 

end of 1999. The Commission’s San 

Francisco Regional Office has had 

several correspondences with the new 

owner and requested a plan and 

schedule to return the project to 

operation and to complete a formal 

request for a transfer of the license to 

the Bently Family Limited Partnership. 

Nothing was filed. On January 20, 2015, 

staff sent the licensee (Mr. Bertea), to his 

mailing address on record, a letter 

requiring the filing within 30 days, of an 

application for a transfer of license and 

a plan and schedule for restoring the 

operation of the project or an 

application to surrender the project’s 

license. Staff also sent a copy of the 

letter to the Bently Family Limited 

Partnership. The letter stated that if no 

response is filed, the Commission will 

take action to terminate license by 

implied surrender pursuant to the 

Commission’s regulations at 18 CFR 6.4. 

The letter to the licensee was returned 

due to lack of a forwarding address. 

Nothing was filed. 

l. This notice is available for review 

and reproduction at the Commission in 

the Public Reference Room, Room 2A, 

888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 

20426. The filing may also be viewed on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document entitled Draft Impacts of 

Climate Change on Human Health in the 

United States: A Scientific Assessment 

has been developed under the auspices 

of The Interagency Group on Climate 

Change and Human Health (CCHHG), a 

working group of the U.S. Global 

Change Research Program (USGCRP), as 

part of the ongoing efforts of USGCRP’s 

National Climate Assessment (NCA) and 

as called for under the President’s 

Climate Action Plan. The draft 

assessment was written by federal 

employees, contractors, or affiliates who 

were selected from author nominations 

based on their demonstrated subject 

matter expertise, relevant publications, 

and knowledge of specific topics 

designated in the draft outline. This 

draft USGCRP Climate and Health 

Assessment responds to the 1990 

Congressional mandate to periodically 

produce National Climate Assessments 

and to assist the nation in 

understanding, assessing, predicting, 

and responding to human-induced and 

natural processes of global change. 

The purpose of this draft assessment 

is to provide a comprehensive, 

evidence-based, and, where possible, 

quantitative estimation of observed and 

projected climate change related health 

impacts in the United States. It is 

intended to inform public health 

officials, disaster response planners, 

multi-sector policy and decision 

makers, and other stakeholders about 

the risks that climate change presents to 

human health. 

The focus of this draft assessment is 

the health impacts of climate change in 

the United States. The assessment does 

not include detailed discussions of 

climate mitigation, adaptation, or 

economic valuation, nor does it make 

policy recommendations. Similarly, 

while this assessment does not focus on 

health research needs or gaps, brief 

insights on research needs gained while 

conducting this assessment will be 

included at the end of each chapter. 

The USGCRP welcomes all comments 

on the content of its draft assessment at 

http://www.globalchange.gov/healthassessment.
