[Project No. 2000-010--New York]


New York Power Authority; Notice Extending Deadline for Filing 
Requests for Additional Studies and Preliminary Comments, 
Recommendations, Terms and Conditions, and Prescriptions

September 29, 2000.
    On August 18, 2000, the U.S. Department of the Interior requested 
an extension of time for filing Additional Study Requests and 
Preliminary Comments, Recommendations, Terms and Conditions, and 
Prescriptions for the St. Lawrence-FDR Power Project, located on the 
St. Lawrence River, in St. Lawrence County, New York.
    In response, the Commission, by notice of September 1, 2000, 
granted an extension of time, to September 29, 2000, for the filing of 
Additional Study Requests and Preliminary Comments, Recommendations, 
Terms and Conditions, and Prescriptions.
    A Cooperative Consultation Process (CCP) Team was established for 
relicensing of the St. Lawrence-FDR Power Project, which was identified 
in the Notice of Memorandum of Understanding, Formation of the 
Cooperative Consultation Process Team, and Initiation of Scoping 
Process Associated with Relicensing the St. Lawrence-FDR Power Project, 
issued May 2, 1996 and found in the Federal Register dated May 8, 1996, 
Volume 61, No. 90, on page 20813.
    By letter dated September 28, 2000, the New York Power Authority 
renewed the request for an extension of time in which to comment based 
on continued settlement negotiations. The goal of the CCP Team is to 
resolve issues during pre-filing consultation in a collaborative manner 
so that the Commission may accelerate the environmental review process 
and the Licensee may receive expedited review of the filed license 
application.
    In this instance, we recognize the benefit to the CCP Team 
resolving as many issues as possible before they file their Additional 
Study Requests and Preliminary Comments, Recommendations, Terms and 
Conditions, and Prescriptions. We will, therefore, pursuant to Rule 
2008 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure,\1\ extend the 
deadline for filing Additional Study Requests and Preliminary Comments, 
Recommendations, Terms and Conditions, and Prescriptions to October 6, 
2000.
