this notice should be addressed to B. 

Peter Yarrington at (202) 502–6129. 

j. Deadline for filing comments and or 

motions: January 26, 2009. 

k. Description of Application: Because 

of ongoing drought conditions, the 

applicant seeks approval to temporarily 

amend article 407 of its project license 

to revise the schedule for management 

of lake levels (rule curve). Under the 

rule curve, the reservoir level is raised 

to an elevation of 439 feet mean sea 

level (msl) by April 15 each year. 

Beginning on September 1, the reservoir 

level is then reduced until it reaches 

437 feet msl by October 1. The level is 

then maintained at 437 feet msl until 

January 1, when it is reduced to 434.5 

feet msl by February 1. At that time, the 

reservoir level is increased and the 

annual cycle is repeated. The licensee 

proposes to forgo the reservoir level 

reduction from 437 feet msl to 434.5 feet 

msl that would normally occur from 

January 1 to February 1, 2009, and 

would then refill the reservoir to the 

summer elevation of 439 feet msl by 

March 15, 2009, rather than waiting 

until April 15.

Rockhouse Mountain Energy, LLC; 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

January 9, 2009. 

On June 13, 2008, Rockhouse 

Mountain Energy, LLC filed an 

application, pursuant to section 4(f) of 

the Federal Power Act, proposing to 

study the feasibility of the Murphy Dam 

Hydroelectric Project. The project 

would be located at the existing Murphy 

Dam owned by the State of New 

Hampshire on Lake Francis, in Coos 

County, New Hampshire. The 

Commission issued a public notice of 

the application on November 13, 2008; 

however, due to an inadvertent error, 

the notice did not run in the local 

newspapers. The Federal Power Act 

legally requires the Commission to issue 

a public notice in a local newspaper 

once a week for four weeks. Therefore, 

we are reissuing the public notice in 

order to allow the notice to run in a 

local newspaper in New Hampshire. 

The proposed Murphy Dam Project 

would use the State of New Hampshire’s 

Murphy Dam and would consist of: (1) 

A proposed 540-foot-long, 8-footdiameter steel penstock; (2) a proposed 

powerhouse containing one generating 

unit having a total installed capacity of 

2.25 MW; (3) a proposed 1.1-mile-long, 

19.9/34.5-kV transmission line; (4) a 

tailrace; and (5) appurtenant facilities. 

The proposed project would have an 

average annual generation of 11.6 

gigawatt-hours, which would be sold to 

a local utility.
