    i. Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene and protests, 
is 30 days from the issuance date of this notice by the Commission. The 
Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file motions 
to intervene, protests, comments, and 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

[[Page 95975]]

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 numbers P-2436-039, P-
2454-080, and P-2532-079.
    j. Description of Proceeding: The licensee, Allete, Inc., requests 
the Commission extend the term of the license for three of its projects 
to synchronize the license expiration dates with the licensee's two 
other projects located nearby, so that they could be relicensed in two 
groups based on their location. The licensee received a 30-year license 
for the Grand Rapids Project No. 2362 on February 26, 1993, effective 
February 1, 1993. The licensee requests the license expiration date for 
the Grand Rapids Project be extended from January 31, 2023 to December 
31, 2023, to match the license expiration date of the licensee's nearby 
Prairie River Project No. 2361.
    In addition, the licensee received 30-year licenses for the Sylvan 
Project No. 2454 on October 29, 1993, and Little Falls Project No. 2532 
on October 27, 1993, both effective January 1, 1994. The licensee 
requests the expiration dates for both projects be extended to March 
31, 2038, to match the license expiration date of the licensee's nearby 
Pillager Project No. 2663. The licensee states that the consolidation 
of the relicensing proceedings for the five projects into two groups 
would reduce redundancy and allow for better stakeholder participation.
    k. 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 filing may also be viewed on the Commission's 
Web site at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/elibrary.asp. Enter the

    l. Individuals desiring to be included on the Commission's mailing 
list should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission.
    m. Comments, Protests, or Motions to Intervene: Anyone may submit 
comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211, 
and .214. In determining the appropriate action to take, the Commission

motions to intervene must be received on or before the specified
