Notice of Application for Amendment of Exemption and Soliciting 
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Protests

May 8, 2003.
    Take notice that the following application has been filed with the 
Commission and is available for public inspection:
    a. Application Type: Amendment of Exemption to Increase its 
Authorized Nameplate Capacity.
    b. Project No: 12094-004.
    c. Date Filed: April 11, 2003.
    d. Applicant: Hydro Technology Systems Inc.
    e. Name of Project: Meyers Falls 1910 Hydroelectric Project.
    f. Location: The project is located on the Colville River, in 
Stevens County, Washington.
    g. Filed Pursuant to: Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 791a-825r.
    h. Applicant Contact: Michael Johnson, President, Hydro Technology 
Systems Inc., P.O. 683 Kettle Falls, WA 99141 (509) 738-6544.
    i. FERC Contact: Any questions on this notice should be addressed 
to Mr. Robert Shaffer at (202) 502-8944, or e-mail address: 
[email protected].
    j. Deadline for filing comments and or motions: June 9, 2003.
    k. Description of Request: The exempt project has an authorized 
capacity of 300 kW (one generating unit) with a hydraulic capacity of 
50 cfs. Now the exemptee is planning to install two units instead of 
one but with the same authorized installed and hydraulic capacity. In 
addition, the exemptee is proposing to add a small 65-kW generating 
unit with a hydraulic capacity of 12 cfs. The exemptee states this 
proposal would improve the operations efficiency of the project by 
utilizing low flows (0 to 12 cfs) that are available for generation but 
fall below the minimum hydraulic capacity of the bigger generating 
units.

available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington,
