Description of Request: Pursuant to exemption Article 16(d), the exemptee is requesting to amend Appendix A and Appendix B of the Commission's March 1, 2013, Order Granting Exemption From Licensing (5MW or Less) to incorporate a modified condition 5. The appendices contain the mandatory terms and conditions submitted under section 30(c) of the Federal Power Act by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MDFW) and by the U.S. Department of the Interior (Interior). The MDFW and the Interior issued modifications to condition 5 of their terms and conditions and as such, the exemptee is requesting that the Commission amend the exemption order by incorporating the modified terms and conditions. The modification of condition 5 allows the exemptee to operate the project with an approach velocity at the left-side trash rack greater than the 2.0 cubic feet per second as required by the original condition 5, until such time that the MDFW determines that protection for atlantic salmon is necessary. The Interior revision requires additional American eel monitoring during the period of time that the exceedance of the 2.0 cfs approach velocity is allowed. l.
