    The Commission's Rules of Practice require all intervenors filing

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 may be filed electronically via 
the Internet in lieu of paper. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings. 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.
    k. This application has been accepted for filing, but is not ready 
for environmental analysis at this time.
    l. The existing Chignik Hydroelectric Project operates continuously 
at 2.7 cubic-feet-per-second (cfs), and serves as the domestic water

features: (1) a timber crib dam, spill way and overflow channel; (2) a 
20.4 surface acre reservoir; (3) a 7,700 foot-long wood stave and steel

facilities.
    NorQuest estimates that the average annual generation is 219,000

facilities to augment the consumption of diesel fuel in their diesel 
generators used to supply electricity to NorQuest's cannery operations.

Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the
