    j. Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, and 
protests: August 18, 2009.
    Comments, protests, and interventions may be filed electronically 
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and 
the instructions on the Commission's Web site (http://www.ferc.gov) 
under the ``e-filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings.
    All documents (original and eight copies) filed by paper should be 
sent to: Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Please include the project number 
(P-10359-044) on any comments or motions filed.
    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
interveners filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of 
that document on each person whose name appears on the official service 
list for the project. Further, if an intervener files comments or 
documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that 
may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they 
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency. A copy 
of any motion to intervene must also be served upon each representative 
of the Applicant specified in the particular application.
    k. Description of Request:
    (i) Amendment to Project Design: The Public Utility District No. 1 
of Snohomish County proposes to decrease the project's rated turbine 
capacity from the originally licensed 8.3 MW (11,067 horsepower) to 7.5 
MW (10,000 horsepower), and to change the type of turbine to a 
horizontal shaft, 2-jet impulse Pelton turbine connected to a 
synchronous type generator rated at 8,333 kVA at a 0.9 power factor 
(7,500 kW). This decrease in the turbine's capacity will decrease the 
project's maximum hydraulic capacity from 140 cfs to 120 cfs. The 
licensee also plans to change the operating voltage of the project 
transmission line to 12.5 kilovolts as originally licensed, correct the 
length of transmission line in the original license from 6.1 miles to 
8.2 miles, and install certain segments of transmission line on 
existing overhead distribution poles while installing the remaining 
segments of the transmission line underground. The transmission line 
will continue to follow the alignment as provided in the current 
license.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public
