Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, 
Washington, DC 20426. The first page of any filing should include the

    j. Description of Proceeding: Brookfield White Pine Hydro LLC, 
licensee for the Shawmut Project, requests a 1-year extension of the 
term of the project license, from January 31, 2021, to January 31, 
2022. The extension would give the licensee an additional year to file 
its Final License Application (FLA) for the project, which would then 
be due January 31, 2020. The licensee indicates that the extension 
would not affect any other submittal deadlines under the existing 
relicensing schedule.
    The licensee requests an extension of the license term so that it 
can complete, cooperatively with state and federal resource agencies 
and other entities, a feasibility assessment of options to provide 
multi-dam fish passage on the Kennebec River. The options would 
include, but not be limited to, alternative designs included in the 
approved Interim Species Protection Plan (Interim SPP) for the Shawmut 
Project, Weston Project (P-2325), and Lockwood Project (P-2574), as 
well as the approved Interim SPP for the Hydro-Kennebec Project (P-
2611). These two Interim SPPs were developed for the projects to help 
ensure the protection of, and passage for, Atlantic salmon that use the 
Kennebec River and that are listed as endangered under the Endangered 
Species Act. The licensee proposes to develop, in consultation with the 
resource agencies, a single basin-wide Final SPP and draft Biological 
Assessment for the four projects together, which would be filed ahead 
of the December 31, 2019 expiration of the Interim SPPs, and 
concurrently with the Shawmut Project FLA. The licensee included with 
its request correspondence from the National Marine Fisheries Service, 
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Maine Department of Marine Resources, 
and Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife supporting the 
request.
    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 
website at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/elibrary.asp. Enter the

comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211,
