[[Page 5112]]

    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: 
Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426. Please include the project 
number (P-4659-026) on any comments or motions filed. Comments, motions 
to intervene, and protests may be filed electronically via the Internet 
in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions 
on the Commission's web site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-
Filing'' link.
    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.
    k. Description of Amendment: The license, issued February 28, 1986, 
authorizes a transmission line route whereby the as yet unconstructed 
transmission line would interconnect with Arkansas Power and Light (now 
Entergy). Independence County now intends to interconnect with a 
Southwestern Power Administration (SWPA) transmission line. 
Independence County thus proposes to (1) change the route for the 
unconstructed transmission line and (2) build a substation on an 
existing Southwestern Power Administration (SWPA) right-of-way.
    The proposed transmission line would extend along the north side of 
the White River eastward nine miles from Lock and Dam No. 3 to the 
proposed substation. Single pole structures would be used to construct 
the 25 kV transmission line.
    The proposed substation would be located approximately two miles 
east of White River Lock and Dam No. 2 (Project No. 4660), on the north 
side of the White River. The 100 ft by 150 ft substation would step-up 
the voltage from 25 kV to 161 kV, and have a transformer rating of 17.5 
kV.
    SWPA is a cooperating agency in the processing of the license 
amendment.
    l. A copy of the application is on file with the Commission and is 
available for public inspection. This filing may also be viewed on the 
web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' link--select ``Docket 
'' and follow the instructions (call 202-208-2222 for 
assistance). A copy is also available for inspection and reproduction 
at the address in item h above.
    m. Individuals desiring to be included on the Commission's mailing 
list should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission.
    Anyone may submit comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in 
accordance with the requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 
CFR 385.210, .211, .214. In determining the appropriate action to take, 
the Commission will consider all protests or other comments filed, but 
only those who file a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
Commission's Rules may become a party to the proceeding. Any comments, 
protests, or motions to intervene must be received on or before the 
specified comment date for the particular application.
    Any filings must bear in all capital letters the title 
``COMMENTS,'' ``PROTEST,'' or ``MOTION TO INTERVENE,'' as applicable, 
and the Project Number (No. 4659-026) of the particular application to 
which the filing refers. A copy of any motion to intervene must also be 
served upon each representative of Independence County specified in 
item h, above.
    Federal, state, and local agencies are invited to file comments on 
the described application. A copy of the application may be obtained by 
agencies directly from the applicant. If an agency does not file 
comments within the time specified for filing comments, it will be 
presumed to have no comments. One copy of an agency's comments must 
also be sent to the Applicant's representative listed in item h, above.

Acting Secretary.
