Day 5: Sorting out FERC

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) made a mistake. As a result, the period to comment on the AP&T and Goat Lake Hydro application for a FERC permit for the Connelly Lake project (P-14229-000) in the Haines Borough has been extended to January 3, 2012.

Our contact at FERC is:

Brooks Carter

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

888 First St NE, Rm 1A-1 

Washington, DC 20426

Once notified of the oversight, Mr. Carter moved quickly to correct it. Mr. Carter explained that there were errors in the addresses for four entities including the Municipality of Skagway and the Haines Borough.

Filing comments is relatively straight forward using FERC's elibrary. Click on the "eComment" link on the left side of the page. If you get stuck, there is online support. The key piece of information you need is the docket number: P-14229-000.

I will ask the Haines Borough Assembly if it would like to comment on behalf of the Borough. If so, I expect that a draft of an Assembly comment will be taken up at the December 13 meeting.
