8659 (TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, you may submit a paper copy.
Submissions sent via the U.S. Postal Service must be addressed to:
Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426. Submissions sent via
any other carrier must be addressed to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary,
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 12225 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville,
Maryland 20852. The first page of any filing should include the docket
number P-10806-015. Comments emailed to Commission staff are not
considered part of the Commission record.
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 Request: The City of Holyoke Gas & Electric
Department, licensee for the Station No. 5 Hydroelectric Project No.
10806 filed a request with the Commission for a 9-year, 3-month
extension of the 40-year license for the project, currently expiring on
May 3, 2030. The new expiration date for the project would be August
31, 2039. The licensee requests the extension to align the project
license expiration date with the Holyoke Project No. 2004 and the
Holyoke Number 4 Project No. 7758. The licensee states that aligning
the expiration dates for the projects would allow a more synchronized
approach to the relicensing process because the projects are all
interdependent.
