Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file comments, 
protests, and motions to intervene 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-4254-011.
    j. Description of Project Facilities: (1) An 110-foot-long, 15-
foot-high concrete dam; (2) a 24-acre reservoir; (3) an intake 
structure; (4) turbine-generator units with an installed capacity of 72 
kilowatts; and (5) appurtenant facilities.
    k. Description of Proceeding: The exemptee is in violation of 
Standard Article 1 of the exemption, issued on December 1, 1981 (17 
FERC ] 62,321), and the Commission's regulations at 18 CFR 4.106. 
Article 1 provides, among other things, that the Commission reserves 
the right to revoke an exemption if any term or condition of the 
exemption is violated.
    The exemptee's failure to operate and maintain the project as 
authorized by its exemption is a violation of Standard Article 1. 
Commission records indicate that the project has not been operated 
since 1998. The current exemptee acquired the project in February 2009 
and has been unable to restore project operation. On December 19, 2013, 
the exemptee filed a plan and schedule to restore project operation, 
which Commission staff approved with the requirement that the exemptee 
file quarterly progress reports starting October 1, 2014. The exemptee 
did not file the first progress report. By letter on December 19, 2014, 
Commission staff requested that the exemptee file the overdue progress 
report. In response, on January 9, 2015, the exemptee filed a

[[Page 49648]]

request for an extension of time stating it was unable to move forward 
with the approved plan and schedule and needed more time to reevaluate 
and formulate a plan of action. By telephone on March 12, 2015, 
Commission staff contacted the exemptee to inquire about the non-
operational status of the project. In response, the exemptee reiterated 
its need for additional time and stated it was looking for a buyer for 
the project. By letter on April 15, 2016, Commission staff again 
requested that the exemptee file a plan and schedule to restore project 
operation. In addition, Commission staff informed the exemptee that it 
was non-compliant with the exemption and that failure to maintain and 
operate the project as authorized would result in termination of the 
exemption by the Commission. On April 27, 2016, the exemptee filed a 
response stating the project was still for sale, but did not file a 
plan and schedule or any other information regarding its efforts to 
restore project operation.
    l. This notice is available for review and reproduction at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room, Room 2A, 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The notice and other project records may also be 
viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/elibrary.asp. Enter the Docket number (P-4254-011) excluding the last
