7Hand-delivered submissions in docketed 

proceedings should be delivered to Health and 

Human Services, 12225 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, 

Maryland 20852. 

NGA,1 any person 2 or the Commission’s 

staff may file a protest to the request. If 

no protest is filed within the time 

allowed or if a protest is filed and then 

withdrawn within 30 days after the 

allowed time for filing a protest, the 

proposed activity shall be deemed to be 

authorized effective the day after the 

time allowed for protest. If a protest is 

filed and not withdrawn within 30 days 

after the time allowed for filing a 

protest, the instant request for 

authorization will be considered by the 

Commission. 

Protests must comply with the 

requirements specified in section 

157.205(e) of the Commission’s 

regulations,3 and must be submitted by 

the protest deadline, which is October 

16, 2021. A protest may also serve as a 

motion to intervene so long as the 

protestor states it also seeks to be an 

intervenor. 

Interventions 

Any person has the option to file a 

motion to intervene in this proceeding. 

Only intervenors have the right to 

request rehearing of Commission orders 

issued in this proceeding and to 

subsequently challenge the 

Commission’s orders in the U.S. Circuit 

Courts of Appeal. 

To intervene, you must submit a 

motion to intervene to the Commission 

in accordance with Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure 4 and the regulations under 

the NGA 5 by the intervention deadline 

for the project, which is October 16, 

2021. As described further in Rule 214, 

your motion to intervene must state, to 

the extent known, your position 

regarding the proceeding, as well as 

your interest in the proceeding. For an 

individual, this could include your 

status as a landowner, ratepayer, 

resident of an impacted community, or 

recreationist. You do not need to have 

property directly impacted by the 

project in order to intervene. For more 

information about motions to intervene, 

refer to the FERC website at https://

www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/ 

intervene.asp. 

All timely, unopposed motions to 

intervene are automatically granted by 

operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to 

intervene that are filed after the 

intervention deadline are untimely and 

may be denied. Any late-filed motion to 

intervene must show good cause for 

being late and must explain why the 

time limitation should be waived and 

provide justification by reference to 

factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the 

Commission’s Rules and Regulations. A 

person obtaining party status will be 

placed on the service list maintained by 

the Secretary of the Commission and 

will receive copies (paper or electronic) 

of all documents filed by the applicant 

and by all other parties. 

Comments 

Any person wishing to comment on 

the project may do so. The Commission 

considers all comments received about 

the project in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken. To 

ensure that your comments are timely 

and properly recorded, please submit 

your comments on or before October 16, 

2021. The filing of a comment alone will 

not serve to make the filer a party to the 

proceeding. To become a party, you 

must intervene in the proceeding. 

How To File Protests, Interventions, and 

Comments

protests, motions to intervene, and 

comments. In both instances, please

k. Description of Request: The 

licensee is proposing to extend the 

drawdown of the Cedar Cliff 

Hydroelectric Development’s reservoir 

that was previously approved on August 

27, 2019 by the Order Approving 

Variance of Article 401 (168 FERC 

¶ 62,116) that is currently in effect until 

September 2021. The licensee is 

proposing to extend the drawdown of 30 

feet below normal pool until September 

30, 2024 in order to complete auxiliary 

spillway upgrades for project safety 

purposes. The licensee is in the process 

of modifying the spillway area by rock 

splitting and blasting to lower the sill to 

2,305 ft above mean sea level to 

accommodate 6 Fusegates. The licensee 

has also constructed and is using the 

new access road to facilitate the 

construction activity. The resulting 

spoil material is being placed in the 

reservoir per the requirements of the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 

404 individual permit and the Section 

401 Water Quality Certification 

conditions from the North Carolina 

Division of Water Resource. The 

licensee is implementing mitigation 

measures to protect Indiana bats and 

northern long-eared bats that were 

required by U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service. Furthermore, the licensee plans 

to keep the public access boat ramp 

closed for the duration of the 

drawdown, and plans to repave the 

parking lot and remove sediment from 

the launch area during the closure.
