j. The Village of Saranac Lake filed its request to use the TLP on
March 31, 2022, and provided public notice of its request on April 1,
2022.\1\ In a letter dated May 11, 2022, the Director of the Division
of Hydropower Licensing approved the Village of Saranac Lake's request
to use the TLP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Village of Saranac Lake provided public notice of its
request to use the TLP on April 1, 2022, one day later than required
under section 5.3 of the Commission's regulations. The notice stated
comments would be due 30 days from the March 31, 2022 NOI filing
date, which is April 30, 2022. The Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure provide that if a filing deadline falls on a Saturday,
Sunday, holiday, or other day when the Commission is closed for
business, the filing deadline does not end until the close of
business on the next business day. 18 CFR 385.2007(a)(2)(2021).
Because the deadline to file comments on the request to use the TLP
fell on a Saturday, the filing deadline was extended until the close
of business on Monday, May 2, 2022, which allowed for a full 30-day
comment period from the date of the public notice.

Preservation Officer, as required by section 106, National Historic
