(207)723-4341. i. *FERC Contact:* Mr. Jeremy Jessup,

See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site at *http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp.* If unable to be filed electronically, documents may be paper-filed. To paper-file, an original and seven copies should be mailed to: Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426. 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. Please include the project number (P-2333-078) on any comments, motions, or recommendations filed. k. *Description of Request:* The applicant proposes to remove two parcels of land from the project boundary. The first parcel is located adjacent to the existing penstocks at the Lower Station Development. The applicant proposes to re-convey an existing easement to New Page Mill to allow them to make improvements to their wastewater treatment plant. The parcel was originally included in the project boundary to allow for a possible third penstock, however, the applicant has abandoned the idea. The second parcel is less than one acre in size and has an existing easement that allows third party utilities to cross land owned by the applicant. The applicant recently learned that there is a gap in the easement and the third party utilities need to correct the easement. As a result, the applicant is proposing to remove the parcel because it never served any specific use by the applicant and it was only originally included in the project boundary because the applicant owned it. l. *Locations of the Application:* A copy of the application is available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, or by calling
