[Project No. 3409-034]


Boyne USA, Inc.; Notice of Petition for Declaratory Order

    Take notice that on August 30, 2021, pursuant to Rule 207 of the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 
18 CFR 385.207 (2020), Boyne USA, Inc., filed a petition for 
declaratory order (Petition) requesting that the Commission declare 
that the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy 
has waived its authority to issue a certification for the Boyne River 
Hydroelectric Project No. 3409 under Section 401 of the Clean Water 
Act, 33 U.S.C. 1341(a)(1), as more fully explained in the Petition.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must 
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Protests will be 
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to 
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of 
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, 
motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. 
Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of 
that document on the Petitioner.
    Any person wishing to comment on Boyne's Petition may do so.\1\ The 
deadline for filing comments is 30 days from the issuance of this 
notice. The Commission encourages electronic submission of comments in 
lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at <a href="http://www.ferc.gov">http://www.ferc.gov</a>. 
Persons unable to file electronically should send comments to the 
following address: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street NE, Washington, DC 20426. Hand delivered submissions in docketed 
proceedings should be delivered to Health and Human Services, 12225 
Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852. Be sure to reference the 
project docket number (P-3409-032) with your submission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Boyne's request is part of its relicensing proceeding in 
Project No. 3409-032. Thus, any person that intervened in the 
relicensing proceeding is already a party. Generally, the filing of 
a petition for a declaratory order involving an issue arising from 
the licensing proceeding does not trigger a new opportunity to 
intervene. Accordingly, at this point in this proceeding, any person 
seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a motion to 
intervene out-of-time pursuant to Rule 214(b)(3) and (d) of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure that provides 
justification by reference to the factors set forth in Rule 214(d). 
The Commission may limit a late intervenor's participation to the 
issues raised in the petition for declaratory order. 18 CFR 
385.214(d)(3)(i).
