Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE.,

    j. Description of Proceeding: The licensee, Erie Boulevard 
Hydropower, L.P., requests that the Commission amend the license terms 
for two of its projects to synchronize the license expiration dates 
with the licensee's four other projects, so that they can be relicensed 
concurrently. The other four projects' licenses expire on December 31, 
2033. All six projects are located on the Raquette River.
    In order to align the expiration dates, the licensee requests that 
the Commission extend the license for the Yaleville Project No. 9222, 
approximately 12 years, from January 31, 2022 to December 31, 2033. In 
addition, the licensee requests that the Commission accelerate the 
license expiration term for the Piercefield Project No. 7387 by 10 
years, from October 31, 2045 to October 31, 2035.
    The licensee states that amending the license terms for the two 
projects would allow for better coordination during project relicensing 
for all of its projects on the Raquette River. The licensee's request 
includes letters of support for the amendments of the license terms 
from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, New York State Department of 
Environmental Conservation, and Adirondack Mountain Club.
    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
