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 resource agency, they must also serve a copy of

k. Description of Transfer and Lease of Project Lands Request: In
the original application filed on October 20, 2020, the applicants
requested that the Commission approve the transfer of the following
projects from Sappi North America, Inc. (Sappi) to Presumpscot Hydro
LLC (Presumpscot) as the sole transferee: Saccarappa Project No. 2897,
Gambo Project No. 2931, Mallison Falls Project No. 2932, Little Falls
Project No. 2941, Dundee Project No. 2942, and Eel Weir Project No.
2984-123. The Commission issued notice of the application on January
26, 2021. On June 21, 2021, the applicants submitted an amendment to
the original application, to add Dichotomy Power Maine LLC (Dichotomy)
as a co-transferee. Presumpscot remains a co-transferee. Because the
amendment modifies the proposal in the original application, the
Commission is issuing notice of the amended application.
