    c. Date Filed: February 19, 2016.
    d. Applicant: Georgia Power Co.
    e. Name of Project: Morgan Falls Hydroelectric Project.
    f. Location: Chattahoochee River in Fulton and Cobb counties,

    h. Applicant Contact: Chad Knudsen, Senior Land Management 
Specialist, Georgia Power, Bin 10151, 241 Ralph McGill Blvd. NE., 
Atlanta, GA 30308-3374, (404) 506-2395.
    i. FERC Contact: Mark Carter, (678) 245-3083, [email protected].
    j. Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, and 
protests: March 30, 2016.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file 
motions to intervene, protests, comments, or recommendations using the 
Commission's eFiling system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. Commenters can submit brief comments up to 6,000 
characters, without prior registration, using the eComment system at 
http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ecomment.asp. You must include your 
name and contact information at the end of your comments. For 
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at 
[email protected], (866) 208-3676 (toll free), or (202) 502-
8659 (TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, please send a paper copy to: 
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The first page of any filing should include 
docket number P-2237-033.
    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: Georgia Power Co. proposes to amend 
Article 408 of the project license to remove its responsibility to 
provide a canoe portage around Morgan Falls Dam. The licensee's 
application discusses several public safety concerns with the existing 
portage as well as recent usage patterns of the existing portage. Due 
to the availability of a separate upstream boat dock and downstream 
boat ramp to accommodate those wanting to port around the dam, Georgia 
Power concludes that its existing canoe portage route is no longer safe 
and no longer necessary.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is

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

[email protected], for TTY, call (202) 502-8659. A copy is

(h) above. Agencies may obtain copies of the application directly from

requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211,
