    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file 
comments, motions to intervene, and protests using the Commission's 
eFiling system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. 
Commenters can submit brief comments up to 6,000 characters, without 
prior registration, using the eComment system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ecomment.asp. You must include your name and contact 
information at the end of your comments. For assistance, please contact

send a paper copy to: Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 
888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426. The first page of any filing 
should include docket number P-14276-014.
    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 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 update the 
project design to correspond to changes resulting from engineering 
development since license issuance. The new design is more economical 
to construct and eliminates removing the landward lock wall, which was 
objected to by the Kentucky River Authority. The licensee proposes to 
reduce the size of the powerhouse, intake structure, and tailrace to 
fit completely inside the lock chamber. In addition, the licensee is 
proposing to change from two 2.5-megawatt (MW) horizontal pit Kaplan 
turbine generators to five 528-kilowatt Flygt submersible turbine-
generator units. The authorized installed capacity will reduce from 5 
MW to 2.64 MW, and the maximum total hydraulic capacity will decrease 
from 4,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 2,250 cfs. Lastly, the 
licensee proposes to add a control building located at the right 
abutment adjacent to the existing concrete esplanade. The proposed 
amendment will not change the approved run-of-river operation mode of 
the project or the approved project boundary.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 
20426, or by calling (202) 502-8371. This filing may also be viewed on
