    On October 21, 2014, the exemptee filed an application with the 
Commission to surrender the exemption. The exemptee has reevaluated the 
economics of the project and has decided not to move forward with 
construction of the project, citing insufficient economic returns and 
cheaper alternatives in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
    Accordingly, the Commission accepts the exemptee's surrender of its 
exemption from licensing, effective 30 days from the date of this 
notice, at the close of business on Thursday, December 18, 2014. No 
license, exemption, or preliminary permit applications for the project 
site may be filed until Friday, December 19, 2014.

    Dated: November 19, 2014.
