application for a three-year preliminary permit under Section 4(f) of 
the Federal Power Act \1\ to study the proposed 189-megawatt Mineville 
Pumped Storage Project No. 12635. Public notice of the application was 
issued on April 20, 2006, with a deadline of June 19, 2006, for 
comments and motions to intervene. On November 13, 2006, a preliminary

    On March 7, 2007, the New York State Council of Trout Unlimited 
(Trout Unlimited) filed a late motion to intervene in the permit 
application proceeding. The permit application proceeding was 
terminated upon issuance of the permit. Because there is no proceeding 
in which to intervene,

Trout Unlimited's motion for late intervention is rejected.\3\

    \3\ If the Moriah files a license application, public notice 
will be issued; and Trout Unlimited will have an opportunity to 
intervene and comment on the proposed project.
