k. This application has been accepted 

and is ready for environmental analysis 

at this time. 

The Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ) issued a final rule on July 

15, 2020, revising the regulations under 

40 CFR parts 1500–1518 that federal 

agencies use to implement the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (see 

Update to the Regulations Implementing 

the Procedural Provisions of the 

National Environmental Policy Act, 85 

FR 43,304). The Final Rule became 

effective on and applies to any NEPA 

process begun after September 14, 2020. 

An agency may also apply the 

regulations to ongoing activities and 

environmental documents begun before 

September 14, 2020, which includes the 

proposed Annandale Project. 

Commission staff intends to conduct its 

NEPA review in accordance with CEQ’s 

new regulations. 

l. Project Description: The Annandale 

Project would consist of: (1) An existing 

240-foot-long dam with a maximum 

height of 13 feet impounding a 3-acre 

reservoir at a normal pool elevation of 

148 feet North American Vertical datum 

of 1988; (2) one new 9-foot-wide, 9-footlong, 8-foot-high concrete tank with a 

spiral internal shape and housing a 10- 

kilowatt gravitational vortex turbinegenerator unit; (3) a new 60-foot-long, 

480-volt underground generator lead 

connecting the turbine-generator unit 

with an electrical panel that is 

connected to a step-up transformer via 

a new 10-foot-long, 480-volt 

underground transmission line; (4) a 

new 50-foot-long, 7.6-kilovolt 

underground transmission line 

connecting the step-up transformer to 

the local grid; and (5) appurtenant 

facilities. The project is estimated to 

generate an average of 51 megawatthours annually. The applicant proposes 

to operate the project in a run-of-river 

mode.

[Docket No. RM98–1–000] 

Records Governing Off-the-Record 

Communications; Public Notice 

This constitutes notice, in accordance 

with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of the receipt 

of prohibited and exempt off-the-record 

communications. 

Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, 

September 22, 1999) requires 

Commission decisional employees, who 

make or receive a prohibited or exempt 

off-the-record communication relevant 

to the merits of a contested proceeding, 

to deliver to the Secretary of the 

Commission, a copy of the 

communication, if written, or a 

summary of the substance of any oral 

communication. 

Prohibited communications are 

included in a public, non-decisional file 

associated with, but not a part of, the 

decisional record of the proceeding. 

Unless the Commission determines that 

the prohibited communication and any 

responses thereto should become a part 

of the decisional record, the prohibited 

off-the-record communication will not 

be considered by the Commission in 

reaching its decision. Parties to a 

proceeding may seek the opportunity to 

respond to any facts or contentions 

made in a prohibited off-the-record 

communication and may request that 

the Commission place the prohibited 

communication and responses thereto 

in the decisional record. The 

Commission will grant such a request 

only when it determines that fairness so 

requires. Any person identified below as 

having made a prohibited off-the-record 

communication shall serve the 

document on all parties listed on the 

official service list for the applicable 

proceeding in accordance with Rule 

2010, 18 CFR 385.2010. 

Exempt off-the-record 

communications are included in the 

decisional record of the proceeding, 

unless the communication was with a 

cooperating agency as described by 40 

CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR 

385.2201(e)(1)(v). 

The following is a list of off-therecord communications recently 

received by the Secretary of the 

Commission. The communications 

listed are grouped by docket numbers in 

ascending order. These filings are 

available for electronic review at the
