    j. Deadline for filing comments, recommendations, terms and 
conditions, and prescriptions: 60 days from the issuance of this 
notice.
    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.
    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.
    Comments, recommendations, terms and conditions, and prescriptions 
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.
    j. This application has been accepted, and is ready for 
environmental analysis at this time.
    k. The proposed project would consist of the following features: 
(1) A screened intake structure 50 feet long by 3 feet high with a 20-
foot-wide spillway; (2) a 3.5-acre storage impoundment at elevation 
1,088 feet mean sea level; (3) a 6,000-foot-long, 22-inch-diameter 
steel and high-density polyethylene chloride penstock; (4) a 30-by 40-
foot-long prefabricated metal powerhouse along the right bank of Wolf 
Creek, having a single horizontal twin-jet Pelton turbine with an 
installed capacity of 2.2 megawatts; (5) a 150-foot-long, 10-foot-wide, 
by 6-foot-deep tailrace channel; (6) a 12.5-kilovolt, 2.3-mile-long 
overhead transmission line on wooden poles; (7) a 50-foot-wide by 2.3-
mile-long transmission line right-of-way, including an access road; and 
(8) other appurtenances. The proposed run-of-river project would use 
natural flows from the 100-acre Wolf Lake and ponds just below the lake 
to generate 2.2 MW of power to serve various communities on Prince of 
Wales Island. Water diverted to generate power for this project would 
bypass about 6,000 feet of Wolf Creek. The project would operate 
continuously to meet a large portion of the spring, summer, and fall 
load demand.
    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
