staff are not considered part of the Commission record.
    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
intervenors 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 intervenor 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.
    k. Description of Request: The applicant proposes to amend their 
2004 Shoreline Stabilization Plan (Original Plan) such that, in part, 
Whitehouse Bay (site 12) becomes the final stabilization site. No 
further work will be performed on the sites identified in the Original 
Plan, and the licensee will have met its obligations under the 
Shoreline Stabilization Program section of Article 401. The licensee 
states that after the approval of the Original Plan, agencies found 
that erosion in areas not adjacent to human occupation is natural, and 
so denied authorization to perform shoreline stabilization on some 
sites. The licensee completed stabilization for sites 10, 13-19, 21-26, 
33, and 1D; and cancelled stabilization for sites 11, 20, 27-32, 34-36, 
2D, 3D, and 25D.
    The licensee will fund the continuation of the Adjoining Landowner 
Stabilization Program (ALSP) using the balance of $1.75 million, minus 
the costs of completing stabilization of site 12. This money may be 
expended on ALSP sites without restriction to timing. These funds will 
cover design, permitting, construction, and construction management 
costs of ALSP sites that are implemented by the licensee. There will be 
no restrictions on ALSP projects in terms of estimated cost or length 
or any other such restriction. The licensee will continue to perform 
ALSP work until the balance of the $1.75 million is expended. 
Thereafter, the licensee's obligation to fund the ALSP expires.
    l. Locations of the Application: This filing may be viewed on the 
Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''

comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211,
