    The Commission's Rules of Practice require all intervenors filing 
documents with the Commission to serve a copy of that document on each 
person 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.
    Motions to intervene and protests, comments, terms and conditions, 
recommendations, and prescriptions and requests for cooperating agency 
status 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.
    l. This application has been accepted for filing, and is now ready 
for environmental analysis.
    We will consider the prefiling consultation process that has 
occurred as satisfying National Environmental Policy Act scoping and 
intend on issuing one environmental assessment (EA) rather than issuing 
a draft and final EA. Tentatively, we plan on issuing an EA by August 
2002.
    m. The existing A J Allen Project consists of: (1) An 8-inch-
diameter 970-foot-long steel pipeline; (2) a rock pile diversion 
structure; (3) a gate valve just upstream of the turbine; (4) a 9-foot 
by 11-foot concrete and wood powerhouse containing a Pelton impulse 
turbine having a rated capacity of 8-kilowatts; (5) a 5-volt, 112-foot-
long transmission line; and (6) other appurtenances.
    n. 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.
    o. 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, 385.211, and 385.214. In determining the appropriate 
action to take, the Commission will consider all protests 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 deadline date for the particular application.
    The Commission directs, pursuant to Section 4.34 (b) of the 
Regulations (see Order No. 533 issued May 8, 1991, 56 FR 23108, May 20 
1991) that all comments, recommendations, terms and conditions, and 
prescriptions concerning the application be filed with the Commission 
within 60 days from the issuance date of this notice. All reply 
comments must be filed with the Commission within 105 days from the 
date of this notice.
    Anyone may obtain an extension of time for these deadlines from the 
Commission only upon a showing of good cause or extraordinary 
circumstances in accordance with 18 CFR 385.2008.
    All filings must (1) bear in all capital letters the title 
``PROTEST'', ``MOTION TO INTERVENE'', ``NOTICE OF INTENT TO FILE 
COMPETING APPLICATION,'' ``COMPETING APPLICATION,'' ``COMMENTS,'' 
``REPLY COMMENTS,'' ``RECOMMENDATIONS,'' ``TERMS AND CONDITIONS,'' or 
``PRESCRIPTIONS;'' (2) set forth in the heading the name of the 
applicant and the project number of the application to which the filing 
responds; (3) furnish the name, address, and telephone number of the 
person protesting or intervening; and (4) otherwise comply with the

recommendations, terms and conditions or prescriptions must set forth 
their evidentiary basis and otherwise comply with the requirements of 
18 CFR 4.34(b). Agencies may obtain copies of the application directly 
from the applicant. A copy of any protest or motion to intervene must 
be served upon each representative of the applicant specified in the 
particular application. A copy of all other filings in reference to 
this application must be accompanied by proof of service on all persons 
listed in the service list prepared by the Commission in this
