[Docket No. AD09-9-000]


Small Hydropower Development in the United States; Notice 
Granting Extension of Time To Provide Comments

December 10, 2009.
    On December 2, 2009, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission held 
a Commissioner-led technical conference to explore issues related to 
licensing small non-federal hydropower projects in the United States. 
At the conference, Commission staff set January 4, 2010, as the due 
date for filing any written comments about small hydropower issues with 
the Commission. On December 4, 2009, American Rivers and the National 
Hydropower Association (NHA) filed a joint motion, requesting that the 
Commission extend the comment due date to February 4, 2010. In their 
filing, American Rivers and the NHA state that the additional time will 
allow for the submission of thoughtful and more detailed comments.
    Upon consideration, notice is hereby given that an extension of 
time for all interested entities to file comments is granted to and 
including February 4, 2010.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
