All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with:
Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426. Please include the project
number (P-4659-026) on any comments or motions filed. Comments, motions
to intervene, and protests may be filed electronically via the Internet
in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions
on the Commission's web site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-
Filing'' link.
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 Amendment: The license, issued February 28, 1986,
authorizes a transmission line route whereby the as yet unconstructed
transmission line would interconnect with Arkansas Power and Light (now
Entergy). Independence County now intends to interconnect with a
Southwestern Power Administration (SWPA) transmission line.
Independence County thus proposes to (1) change the route for the
unconstructed transmission line and (2) build a substation on an
existing Southwestern Power Administration (SWPA) right-of-way.
The proposed transmission line would extend along the north side of
the White River eastward nine miles from Lock and Dam No. 3 to the
proposed substation. Single pole structures would be used to construct
the 25 kV transmission line.
The proposed substation would be located approximately two miles
east of White River Lock and Dam No. 2 (Project No. 4660), on the north
side of the White River. The 100 ft by 150 ft substation would step-up
the voltage from 25 kV to 161 kV, and have a transformer rating of 17.5
kV.
SWPA is a cooperating agency in the processing of the license
amendment.
l. A copy of the application is on file with the Commission and is
available for public inspection. This filing may also be viewed on the
web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' link--select ``Docket
'' and follow the instructions (call 202-208-2222 for
assistance). A copy is also available for inspection and reproduction
at the address in item h above.
m. Individuals desiring to be included on the Commission's mailing
list should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission.
Anyone may submit comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in
accordance with the requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18
CFR 385.210, .211, .214. In determining the appropriate action to take,
the Commission will consider all protests or other comments filed, but
only those who file a motion to intervene in accordance with the
Commission's Rules may become a party to the proceeding. Any comments,
protests, or motions to intervene must be received on or before the
specified comment date for the particular application.
Any filings must bear in all capital letters the title
``COMMENTS,'' ``PROTEST,'' or ``MOTION TO INTERVENE,'' as applicable,
and the Project Number (No. 4659-026) of the particular application to
which the filing refers. A copy of any motion to intervene must also be
served upon each representative of Independence County specified in
item h, above.
Federal, state, and local agencies are invited to file comments on
the described application. A copy of the application may be obtained by
agencies directly from the applicant. If an agency does not file
comments within the time specified for filing comments, it will be
presumed to have no comments. One copy of an agency's comments must
also be sent to the Applicant's representative listed in item h, above.
C.B. Spencer,
Acting Secretary.
