    j. Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, protests, 
and recommendations is 30 days from the issuance date of this notice by 
the Commission.
    All documents may be filed electronically via the Internet. See, 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. If unable to be 
filed electronically, documents may be paper-filed. To paper-file, an 
original and seven copies should be mailed to: Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 
20426. Commenters can submit brief comments up to 6,000 characters,

contact information at the end of your comments.
    Please include the project number (P-2323-206) on any comments,

    k. Description of Request: The licensee requests the deletion or 
suspension of the requirements of license Articles 409, 410, 411, and 
413 and the associated Atlantic Salmon Radio-Tagging Plan, as approved 
by the Commission on March 31, 1998. The requirements pertain to 
monitoring and restoring Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in the 
Connecticut River and its tributaries. Article 409 requires the 
licensee to construct, operate, and maintain a permanent upstream fish 
passage facility. Article 410 requires a plan to capture upstream 
migrating Atlantic salmon below the dam and transport them to river 
reaches above the dam or to hatchery facilities until permanent passage 
facilities, are completed. Article 411 requires monitoring of Atlantic 
salmon smolts through project fish passage facilities, and Article 413 
requires an Atlantic Salmon Radio-Tagging Plan. The licensee indicates 
that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which had been actively 
stocking Atlantic salmon in the Connecticut River and its tributaries, 
has officially withdrawn support for the restoration program due to 
unsatisfactory results. The licensee indicates that its efforts under 
Articles 409, 410, 411, and 413 have no feasible chance of success 
without the U.S. Fish and Wildlife's stocking component.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington,
