notice by the Commission. The Commission strongly encourages electronic 
filing. Please file motions to intervene, protests, comments, and 
recommendations, using the Commission's eFiling system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. Commenters can submit brief 
comments up to 6,000 characters, without prior registration, using the 
eComment system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ecomment.asp. You

docket number P-14332-004.
    k. Description of Request: The exemptee proposes to replace, rather 
than refurbish, the existing turbine with a horizontal Francis type 
turbine, and install an induction type generator. To accommodate the 
smaller turbine and generator, the exemptee would reduce the size of 
the penstock just outside of the building, and reduce the size of the 
opening in the floor. As the new, smaller turbine-generator would 
operate at a wider range of flows, the exemptee proposes to change the 
minimum and maximum hydraulic capacity of the project to 3 cubic feet 
per second (cfs) and 36 cfs, respectively. At flows less than 5.6 cfs 
(the minimum operating capacity of the project plus the minimum flow), 
the project would not operate and all flow would be released over the 
spillway. At flows higher than 5.6 cfs, the project would operate and 
2.6 cfs would be released over the spillway. The new turbine and 
generator would have a total installed capacity of 35 kilowatts. 
Replacement, as proposed, would result in an average generation of 
between 140,000 and 180,000 kilowatt-hours.
    l. This notice is available for review and reproduction at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room, Room 2A, 888 First Street NE, 
Washington, DC 20426. The filing may also be viewed on the Commission's 
website at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/elibrary.asp. Enter the

obtain copies of the application directly from the applicant. A copy of 
any protest or motion to intervene must be served upon each 
representative of the applicant specified in the particular 
application. If an intervener files comments or documents with the 
Commission relating to the merits of an issue that may affect the 
responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they must also serve
