    k. Description of Request: Sissonville Limited Partnership, 
licensee for the Sissonville Hydroelectric Project No. 9260 filed a 
request with the Commission for a 5-year, 8-month extension of the 40-
year license for the project, currently expiring on April 30, 2028. The 
new expiration date for the project would be December 31, 2033. The 
licensee requests the extension to align the project license expiration 
date with several other licensed hydroelectric projects located in the 
lower Raquette River Basin. The licensee states that aligning the 
expiration dates for the projects would allow a more synchronized 
approach to the relicensing process. In addition, as requested by the 
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and U.S. Fish 
and Wildlife Service, in exchange for support for the license 
extension, the licensee has agreed to conduct an eel study of the lower 
Raquette River and collect information on American eel distribution.
