    Comment date: December 29, 1999, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph E at the end of this notice. The Commission will limit its 
consideration of comments to those that concern the adequacy or

3. Black River Power, LLC

[Docket No. EG00-33-000]

    Take notice that on December 1, 1999, Black River Power, LLC 
(Applicant) filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission an 
Application for Determination of Exempt Wholesale Generator Status 
pursuant to Part 365 of the Commission's Regulations and Section 32 of 
the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.
    Applicant, a New York limited liability company, is a wholly-owned 
special purpose subsidiary of Jones Capital Corporation, a Delaware 
corporation. Following the purchase by an unrelated third party of the 
Fort Drum Cogeneration Project (the Facility) from its current owner, 
Black River Limited Partnership (BRLP), Applicant will lease the 
Facility from the third party purchaser and will be the sole operator 
of the Facility. Applicant will also sell at wholesale the electric 
energy that the Facility generates. BRLP will transfer to Applicant all 
operating rights, permits, easements and a ground lease.
    The Facility, a topping-cycle cogeneration project located at the 
Fort Drum Army Base near Watertown, New York, is currently a 
Commission-certified qualifying facility (QF). The Facility currently 
consists of three multi-fuel (coal, petroleum coke and wood chips) 
fired circulating fluidized bed boilers, an extraction/condensing steam 
turbine generator with a net electrical capacity of approximately 50 MW 
and associated transmission components interconnecting the Facility 
with the grid. When operation without QF status begins, the Facility 
will also include three diesel engine generators that are located at 
the Facility site and have been used for back-up power, but had not 
previously been part of the QF. Each of the three distillate oil-fired 
engine generators has a net electrical capacity of one megawatt. 
Additionally, Applicant may install an additional steam turbine that 
would utilize for power generation the steam that has previously been 
extracted for useful thermal energy output. If this turbine is 
installed, the Facility's total net electric capacity would be 60 MW, 
including three MW of net capacity from the diesel units. Due to 
termination of the thermal energy contract by the U.S. Army, the 
Facility will cease to be a QF after December 31, 1999. Applicant 
requests that the Commission issue its determination of EWG status to 
the Applicant as expeditiously as possible so that Applicant is able to 
engage in permitted transactions as an EWG on Jan. 1, 2000.
    Copies of the application have been served upon the New York Public 
Service Commission, and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
    Comment date: December 29, 1999, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph E at the end of this notice. The Commission will limit its 
consideration of comments to those that concern the adequacy or 
accuracy of the application.
