interventions may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of

Commission's web site under the ``e-filing'' link. The Commission
strongly encourages electronic filings. Please include the project

The Commission's rules of Practice and Procedure require all
intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of
that document on each person in the official service list for the
project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or documents with the
Commission relating to the merits of an issue that may affect the
responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they must also serve
a copy of the document on that resource agency.
k. Description of Application: Applicants request to amend the Kerr
Project license in order to resolve the respective obligations of PPLM
and the Tribes for performance of certain fish and wildlife mitigation
measures that currently appear in several numbered articles in the
project license. The articles at issue were originally submitted by the
Department of the Interior pursuant to its authority under Section 4(e)
of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 797(e), and thereafter adopted by
the Commission in its orders of June 25, 1997, October 30, 1998, and
December 14, 2000. Applicants seek a similar resolution of obligations
under a license article that was included in the project license in the

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service pursuant to the Endangered Species
Act.
