    k. Description of the Filing: The licensee filed an application to 
amend the license to install new, high efficiency turbine runners in 
its White Rock #1 and #2, and Camino 1# powerhouses, in conjunction 
with scheduled maintenance work at the units. The upgrades will result 
in an increase in total project installed capacity of about 32 
megawatts (MW). The licensee indicates the turbine runner replacements 
will not result in any increase in hydraulic capacity, and will not 
involve construction of any new dam nor diversion, any change in the 
normal maximum surface area or elevation of an existing impoundment, 
any change to project operations, or the addition of new water power 
turbines other than to replace existing turbines. Since all the upgrade 
work will be performed within the powerhouses, there will be no 
streambed or ground disturbances associated with installing the new 
turbine runners. Neither installation nor operation of the new turbine 
runners will result in impacts to water quality, ability to maintain 
minimum flow requirements, or any other environmental impacts.
    l. This notice also consists of the following standard paragraphs: 
B, C1, and D2.
    B. Comments, Protests, or Motions to Intervene--Anyone may submit 
comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211,

will consider all protests or other comments filed, but only those who

may become a party to the proceeding. Any comments, protests, or 
motions to intervene must be received on or before the specified 
comment date for the particular application.
