    j. Deadline for filing comments and or motions: August 22, 2005.
    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: Ms. 
Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE., Washington DC 20426. Please include the project 
number (P-2210-116) on any comments or motions filed. 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 at http://www.ferc.gov under 
the e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages e-filings.
    k. Description of Request: APC is requesting an amendment to an 
approved non-project use of project lands application and a variance to 
the shoreline classification in the shoreline management plan. The 
Commission previously approved two docks with 24 covered slips each, 32 
floating slips to serve a restaurant and conference center, and 8 
floating slips at The Pointe. APC is requesting approval to permit an 
additional 110 stationary covered slips and 36 floating docks. The 
proposed slips will serve The Pointe Condominiums and may be rented to 
the general public if residents of either The Pointe or Mariner's 
Landing do not wish to rent the slips. Upon approval of this filing, 
there would be a total of 158 covered slips and 76 floating slips at 
The Pointe.
    The licensee is also requesting the shoreline classification be 
modified to High Density Commercial which is consistent with the 
Bedford County zoning and because the adjacent shoreline is already 
classified as such.
    l. Location of the Application: This filing is available for review 
at the Commission in the Public Reference Room 888 First Street, NE., 
Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426 or may be viewed on the Commission's Web
