link. If unable to be filed electronically, documents may be paper-

    k. Description of Request: The licensee proposes to amend the 
license for the Upper Red Lake Dam Hydroelectric Project to accelerate 
the expiration date of the license. The current expiration date of the 
license is December 31, 2018. The licensee requests the Commission to 
issue an order accelerating the expiration date of the license to not 
less than 5 years and 90 days from the date of the Commission order. 
The reasons for the request follow: (1) The licensee also operates the 
Weed Dam Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 2464), which is 
located immediately downstream from the Upper Red Lake Dam Project; (2) 
the current license for the Weed Dam Project expires June 30, 2015, and 
the licensee will file a subsequent license application no later than 
June 30, 2013; and (3) the licensee would like to combine the 
relicensing activities since the two projects are small in size, 
approximate in location, and only three and one-half years apart in 
license expiration date, which would result in substantial savings to 
the licensee and more effective consultation with resources agencies 
and other stakeholders.
