    j. Deadline for filing comments and/or motions: May 29, 2001.
    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: 
David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C., 20426. Please include the Project 
Number (P-176-025) on any comments or motions filed. Motions to 
intervene, protests and comments may also be filed electronically via 
the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the

    k. Description of Proposed Project: The City of Escondido, filed a 
proposal to replace the Rincon and Wohlford penstocks, two structurally 
degraded pipelines in northern San Diego County, California. The 
existing Rincon penstock would be removed and disposed of then replaced 
within the same alignment with an approximately 1,940-foot (0.36-mile) 
long below-grade, welded-steel penstock. The new Wohlford penstock 
would be approximately 4,070 feet (0.77-mile) long and would deviate 
from the original alignment to avoid geologically unstable areas and 
impacts to biological resources. Approximately 2.600 feet of the 
proposed penstock would be located within rights-of-way for Oakvale and 
Lake Wohlford Roads. The proposed Wohlford penstock would be installed 
below-grade with the exception of one section. Both new penstocks would 
be designed to maintain, as closely as possible, the original hydraulic 
conditions, including flow rates, power generating capacity, and 
headloss.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application, filed 
March 27, 2001, is available for inspection and reproduction at the
