k. Description of Project: The proposed Klatt Creek Project, a run-

converter, connected to a 24-volt DC battery bank; and (4) appurtenant
facilities. It will not be connected to an interstate grid. All power

When a Declaration of Intention is filed with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 817 (1),
requires the Commission to investigate and determine whether or not the
project is required to be licensed. Pursuant to Section 23(b)(1) of the
FPA, a non-federal hydroelectric project must (unless it has a still-
valid pre-1920 federal permit) be licensed if it is located on a
navigable water of the United States; occupies lands of the United
States; utilizes surplus water or water power from a government dam; or
is located on a body of water over which Congress has Commerce Clause
jurisdiction, project construction occurred on or after August 26,
1935, and the project affects the interests of interstate or foreign
commerce. The purpose of this notice is to gather information to
determine whether the existing project meets any or all of the above
criteria, as required by the FPA.
l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington,
DC 20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371. This filing may also be viewed

m. Individuals desiring to be included on the Commission's mailing
list should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission.

requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211,

will consider all protests or other comments filed, but only those who
