    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: 
Magalie R. Salas, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Comments, protests, and 
interventions may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of 
paper; see 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the 
Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission 
strongly encourages electronic filings. Please include the project 
number (P-4026-041) on any comments or motions filed.
    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
intervenors filing a document 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 documents on that resource agency.
    j. Description of Application: Applicants state that NYNEX's 
corporate name was changed to Bell Atlantic Credit Corporation, which 
subsequently changed its name to Verizon. Applicants state further 
that, in June 2003, ARCO terminated its real property lease and project 
operation agreement with Aziscohos and, at the same time, Verizon's 
interests in the project, through a leveraged lease arrangement with 
Aziscohos, were terminated. Applicants now seek after-the-fact approval 
of the 2003 termination of Aziscohos' and Verizon's interest in the 
project.
