Description of Proceeding: On April 10, 2015, the Town of Stuyvesant, New York and Albany Engineering Corporation, licensees for the Stuyvesant Falls Hydroelectric Project, filed an extension of time request to comply with license articles 301, 401(a) and 406, 401(a) and 407, 410, 411, 412, 413, and 414 pursuant to an Order Issuing New License (143 FERC ] 62,016). On April 15, 2015, the U.S. Department of Interior (Interior) filed a notice of intervention and protest on behalf of its component bureau, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service of the licensees' April 10, 2015 extension of time requests. On April 28, 2015, the licensees filed a revised extension of time request to comply with several license articles, including Article 301 of the license. On May 11, 2015, Interior filed a modified protest in response to the licensees' revised extension of time request. In its filing, Interior does not object to the request for an extension of time to comply with license articles 401(a) and 406, 401(a) and 407, 410, 411, 412, and 413. Therefore, Commission staff will address these extension of time requests in a separate proceeding. However, Interior continues to object to the extension of time requested to commence and complete construction of fish protection and passage facilities pursuant to Article 301. For that reason, Commission staff are scheduling a teleconference to discuss the extension of time request for Article 301 on Wednesday, June 17, 2015 beginning at 9:00 a.m. (EDT) and concluding at 10:30 a.m. (EDT). All interested entities are invited to join the teleconference as discussed above. o.

Any comments, protests, or motions to intervene must be received on or before the specified comment date for the particular proceeding. q.
