    j. Deadline for filing comments and or motions: November 18, 2005.
    k. Description of Request: In their September 22, 2005 filing, 
Upper Peninsula Power Company proposes an amendment to delete a non-
operational 1.0 MW turbine/generator unit at the Dead River (Hoist)

been non-operational since before the project license was issued, 
however; the unit was included in the license and is counted towards

to delete the unit would reduce the total authorized capacity to 11.2
