    g. Applicant Contact: Mr. Richard L. Hilliker, Wisconsin River

3722.
    h. FERC Contact: Questions about this notice can be answered by 
Steve Hocking at (202) 219-2656 or e-mail address: 
[email protected]. The Commission cannot accept comments, 
recommendations, motions to intervene or protests sent by e-mail; these 
documents must be filed as described below.
    i. Deadline for filing comments, recommendations, motions to 
intervene and protests: November 3, 1999.
    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: 
David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426.
    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.
    j. Description of the Application: Wisconsin River Power Company 
(Wisconsin Power) filed an application to sell 2,380 acres of project 
lands to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) to expand 
the existing Buckhorn State Park and Wildlife Area. Another 841 acres 
of non-project lands would also be sold. Collectively, these lands are 
known as the ``Yellow River Bottoms,'' a complex system of meandered 
river channels and islands that provide excellent wildlife habitat and 
recreational opportunities. The lands are on the Castle Rock Flowage, 
south of Necedah in Juneau County, Wisconsin. Wisconsin Power does not 
propose changing the project boundary. The lands to be sold would 
remain project lands; Wisconsin Power would retain flowage easements.
    Contained in Wisconsin Power's application is a request to delete 
four existing recreation sites from its proposed recreation plan in its 
application for a new license pending before the Commission. This 
project is undergoing relicensing and Wisconsin Power requests deleting 
the four sites because the sites are within the area to be sold, they 
would become part of the expanded Buckhorn State Park and Wildlife Area 
and they would be maintained and operated by the WDNR after the sale. 
The four sites to be deleted are: Buckhorn Causeway West, Yellow River 
Boat Launch, 19th Avenue Beach Access and Buckhorn Causeway East.
    k. Locations of the application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room at 888 First Street NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, 
or by calling (202) 208-1371. The application may be viewed on the web

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