    j. Deadline for filing comments, terms and conditions, motions to 
intervene, and protests: 30 days from the issuance date of this notice.
    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. Comments and protests may be 
filed electronically via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR

    k. Calligan Creek Hydro Inc., has applied for license amendment to 
the Calligan Creek Hydroelectric Project. The current license for the 
project was issued on May 13, 1993. An order amending the license was 
issued on June 2, 1994, approving the change from an overhead 
transmission line to a buried one. On April 10, 1995, the Commission 
issued an order granting an extension of time for the construction of 
the project commencement date of May 13, 1997 and construction 
completion on May 13, 1999. On March 24, 1999, the Commission issued 
another order extending the date for the projects construction 
commencement and construction completion to May 13, 2001 and May 13, 
2003, respectively. No project facilities have been constructed to 
date.
    The licensee has requested an amendment to change the project 
capacity from 5.4 MW to 7.4 MW with a 36 percent increase in hydraulic 
capacity to allow maximum power production during high flows; modify 
the intake and diversion structures to accommodate the increased flow 
needed to support the increased generation capacity, including an 
increase of surface area to the fish screens; bury the first 2,000 feet 
of the penstock to a depth of about 100 feet to eliminate the need for 
the approved siphon; and change the current tailrace design from a 140-
foot-long buried pipe to an approximately 100-foot-long open channel.
    l. 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 at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Call (202) 208-2222 for assistance. A copy is also
