Notice of Amendment of License and Soliciting Comments, Motions 
To Intervene, and Protests

February 18, 2005.
    Take notice that the following hydroelectric application has been 
filed with the Commission and is available for public inspection:
    a. Application Type: Amendment of License.
    b. Project No.: 2543-064.
    c. Date Filed: December 28, 2004.
    d. Applicant: Clark Fork and Blackfoot, LLC.
    e. Name of Project: Milltown.
    f. Location: The project is located at the confluence of the Clark 
Fork and Blackfoot Rivers in Missoula County, Montana.
    g. Filed Pursuant to: Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 791(a)-825(r).
    h. Applicant Contact: Michael J. Young, Esq., Clark Fork and 
Blackfoot, LLC, 123 S. Dakota Avenue, Sioux Falls, SD 57104, (605) 978-
2836.
    i. FERC Contact: Regina Saizan, (202) 502-8765.
    j. Deadline for filing comments and or motions: March 21, 2005.
    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. Comments, protests, and 
interventions 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 under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission 
strongly encourages electronic filings. Please include the project 
number (P-2543-064) on any comments or motions filed.
    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
intervenors filing a document with the Commission to serve a copy of 
that document on each person in 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.
    k. Description of Amendment: The applicant requests that the 
license termination date be extended from December 31, 2009, to 
December 31, 2010. The applicant states that while the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency published its Record of Decision (ROD) 
on December 20, 2004, for the Milltown Superfund site, setting forth 
the selected remedy involving the removal of Milltown Dam, the 
interested parties continue to negotiate a consent decree, setting 
forth the terms and conditions of the settlement including 
implementation of the remedy set forth in the ROD. In light of the 
uncertainty over whether an acceptable consent decree will be 
negotiated and executed by the relevant parties, the applicant requests 
the extension to mitigate any license renewal risk in the unlikely 
event the parties fail to successfully negotiate a consent decree for 
the Milltown Superfund site. On December 27, 2004, the applicant filed 
a notice of intent to relicense the project with the understanding that 
its notice would become moot if its request to extend the term of the 
license is granted.
    l. Locations of Application: A copy of the application is available 
for inspection and reproduction at the Commission in the Public 
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington, 
DC 20426, or by calling (202) 502-8371. This filing may also be viewed 
on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the 
``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three 
digits in the docket number field to access the document. For 
assistance, call toll-free 1-866-208-3676 or e-mail 
[email protected]. For TTY, call (202) 502-8659. A copy is 
also available for inspection and reproduction at the address in item 
h. above.
