Policy Statement on the Treatment of Previously Public Documents; 
Notice of Extension of Time

    On October 8, 2002, American Rivers and members of the Hydropower 
Reform Coalition (HRC) filed a request for a 30-day extension of time 
to file comments in response to the Commission's Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking issued September 5, 2002 and published in the Federal 
Register on September 13, 2002 in Docket Nos. RM02-4-000 and PL02-1-
000. The request states that the issues addressed in the NOPR are of 
significant importance to the HRC, and notes that the HRC is the 
largest cooperative public interest entity in the hydropower licensing 
field, and its members are working on approximately 75% of the 
Commission's open licensing cases. According to the request, additional 
time is needed to consult with other concerned organizations and to 
permit the HRC to prepare meaningful comments on the NOPR.
    Upon consideration, notice is hereby given that an extension of 
time for filing responses to the Commission's September 5, 2002, NOPR 
is granted to and including November 14, 2002, as requested by the HRC.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
