Commission

[Project No. 2004–073]

Holyoke Water Power Company;

Notice of Granting Extension of Time

to Complete Response to Deficiency

Letter for the Holyoke Project

June 17, 1998.

On February 23, 1998, the Director,

Office of Hydropower Licensing

(Director) informed Holyoke Water

Power Company (HWP) of deficiencies

in its license application. Among other

things, the license application was

deficient in information regarding

project cost and financing, which is

required in Exhibit D. The February 23

letter established a 90-day deadline

from the date of the letter, until May 24,

1998, for HWP to correct the noted

deficiencies.

On May 26, 1998, HWP filed its

response to the Director’s February 23

deficiency letter. In its filing, HWP

provided most of the information, but

did not provide the information

requested with respect to Exhibit D.

Rather, HWP filed a motion requesting

an extension of time to complete this

aspect of the February 23 deficiency

letter.

HWP states that, as a result of the

restructuring legislation enacted by the

Commonwealth of Massachusetts in

1997, its property tax status has changed

from a Massachusetts Manufacturing

Corporation to a Massachusetts Business

Corporation. Consequently, HWP

expects its property tax liability to

increase beyond that in fiscal year 1997.

In light of these changes, as well as

other changes presently occurring in the

electric utility industry, HWP states that

the continued use of the project cost and

financing data provided in its license

application is not justified. Moreover,

HWP states that the aforementioned

changes have made it difficult for the

company to project cost and financing

data in the future.

HWP states that it is currently

developing the project cost and

financing information requested by the

Director, but that the results have not

been completed and reviewed. HWP

requests a 30-day extension, or until

June 23, 1998, to complete and file the

project cost and financing information.

HWP does not believe that granting the

requested extension of time will unduly

delay the proceedings in this docket.

Based on the foregoing argument, as

well as HWP’s diligence in pursuing the

licensing process, good cause has been

shown for granting HWP’s request. The

motion filed by HWP was served on all

parties in this proceeding, and no party

filed a response or objected to granting

the motion. Therefore, the deadline for

HWP to file its project cost and

financing information is extended to

June 23, 1998. In making its filing, HWP

should be sure that the information

provided satisfies the Director’s request

of February 23. Refinements in the

project’s cost and financing, if

necessary, can be filed any time in the

future prior to Commission action in

this proceeding.

Please be advised that any further

requests for extension of deadlines that

affect the schedule of this proceeding

will be given careful scrutiny. Moreover,

the Commission should be notified prior

to a filing deadline if any party in this

proceeding sees the need for an

extension of time.

Acting Secretary.
