    j. Deadline for filing comments and/or motions: November 30, 2001.
    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: 
David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Comments, protests and 
interventions 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 under the ``e-Filing'' link.
    Please include the project number (2221-027) on any comments or 
motions filed.
    k. Description of Filing: The licensee proposes to replace the four 
1930 vintage Francis waterwheels, with new stainless steel waterwheels 
that are being designed to fit in the same hole and bolt to the same 
shaft and generator as the original wheel. The new waterwheel will pass 
approximately 300 cfs and thereby increases the total hydraulic 
capacity of the plant from 5,800 to 7,200 cfs. Even though, the turbine 
capacity would be increased by 30 percent, the installed capacity would 
not change since there are no plans to upgrade the generators.
