CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. The Commission

    k. Description of Request: The licensee requests a non-capacity

[[Page 59768]]

amendment of its November 21, 2013 license. The licensee states that, 
due to economic shifts, it is no longer economically feasible to add a 
1,026 kilowatt (kW) low flow turbine to the existing powerhouse, as 
proposed during the relicensing process. The licensee instead proposes 
to replace the existing fixed-blade turbine with a variable pitch 
Kaplan turbine in order to achieve compliance with instantaneous run-
of-river operations and other license requirements. The licensee's 
proposed amendment would reduce the authorized installed capacity from 
3,026 kW to 2,000 kW. The licensee indicates that its proposed 
amendment would allow for electricity generation over a broader range 
of inflows, as low as 160 cubic feet per second, while enabling the 
project to meet its run-of-river operational requirement for the 
protection of aquatic resources downstream.
    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, 
DC 20426, or by calling (202) 502-8371. This filing may also be viewed
