cooperating agency status using the Commission's eFiling system at 
http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. Commenters can submit

using the eComment system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ecomment.asp. You must include your name and contact information at the 
end of your comments. For assistance, please contact FERC Online 
Support at [email protected], (866) 208-3676 (toll free), or

paper copy to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426. 
Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to: Kimberly 
D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 12225 Wilkins 
Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852. The first page of any filing should 
include docket number P-7590-016. Comments emailed to Commission staff 
are not considered part of the Commission record.
    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of 
that document on each person whose name appears on the official service 
list for the project. Further, if an intervenor 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 a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    k. Description of Request: The licensee proposes to amend its 
exemption to replace the current turbine/generator which has completed 
its functional life cycle, and as part of ongoing maintenance, is 
scheduled for replacement in 2022. To remove the existing turbine/
generator and install the new one, certain portions of the powerhouse 
building would need to be demolished and reconstructed to fit the new 
turbine/generator arrangement, including a replacement draft tube. As 
such, the proposed amendment would require the temporary installation 
of a cofferdam at the downstream toe of the dam to encompass and 
isolate the draft tube and tailrace. The licensee would remove ledge 
and rock from the existing tailrace to allow the installation of the 
replacement draft tube and to improve hydraulic performance of existing 
turbine flows.
