    i. FERC Contact: Steve Sachs, (202) 502-8666, 
Steven.Sachs@ferc.gov.
    j. Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, and protests 
is 14 days from the issuance of this notice by the Commission. The 
Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file comments, 
motions to intervene, and protests 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/doc-sfiling/ecomment.asp. You must include your name and contact 
information at the end of your comments. For assistance, please contact

the spillway refurbishment project. The ongoing refurbishment project 
necessitates vehicular access to the spillway apron and releasing the 
required continuous flows from the spillway gates, as proposed in their

they are able to complete construction sooner.
