    k. Description of Request: The Androscoggin Reservoir Company 
(licensee) proposes to administratively remove from the project license 
the existing 23.5-mile-long, 34.5-kilovolt transmission line. The 
licensee specifies that the transmission line, which is owned by 
Central Maine Power Company, should no longer be included in the 
license as a primary line because the line does not solely transmit 
power from the project to the interconnected grid, but also transmits 
power from the grid to the customers of the utility. Further, the 
licensee states that the point of interconnection of project power with 
the transmission grid occurs at the existing substation located 
adjacent to the powerhouse.
