Director, City of Port Angeles, Washington, 321 East Fifth Street, Port 
Angeles, WA 98362-0217, Telephone: (360) 417-4800.
    i. FERC Contact: Mr. Kurt Powers, (202) 502-8949, 
Kurt.Powers@ferc.gov.
    j. Deadline for filing comments, interventions, 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 and comments 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 FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, (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-6461-026.
    k. Description of Project Facilities: The project consists of: (a) 
A 10-foot-high, 25-foot-long, concrete, diversion weir and intake 
structure; (b) a 750-foot long, 30 by 36-inch-diameter, concrete 
tunnel; (c) a 11,400-foot-long, 24-inch-diameter, buried steel 
pipeline; (d) a 1,300-foot-long, 24-inch-diameter, buried steel 
penstock; (e) a 32-foot-long, 28-foot-wide, and 14-foot-high, masonry 
block powerhouse containing one horizontal Pelton turbine with an 
hydraulic capacity of 19 cubic feet per second (cfs) and a net 
hydraulic head of 362 feet, directly connected to single generator with 
a nameplate rating of 560 kilowatts; (f) a 2,400-foot-long, 12.5 
kilovolt (kV), underground transmission line; and (g) appurtenant 
facilities.
    l. Description of Request: The licensee proposes to surrender the 
project as it no longer intends to operate the project. The dam and 
intake facilities, including the concrete tunnel, were part of the 
original water structure when Morse Creek was the primary water source 
for the City of Port Angeles. These structures continue to be used to 
draw water for neighboring Clallam County Public Utility District 
(PUD). Since the dam structure pre-dates the hydroelectric project and 
would continue to serve as a water supply for the PUD and for emergency 
use by the City of Port Angeles, the dam structure will remain as is. 
The licensee will remove the generating equipment from the powerhouse 
and the penstock will be plugged with cement to stabilize the 
structure. The tailrace would be filled in to pre-project condition to 
prevent fish from becoming stranded during low-flow periods.
    m. This filing may be viewed on the Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/elibrary.asp. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access

    n. Individuals desiring to be included on the Commission's mailing 
list should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission.
