Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, and protests is 30 days from the issuance date of this notice.  All documents may be filed electronically via the Internet.  See 18 C.F.R. 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission’s website http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp.  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.  For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free at 1-866-208-3676, or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.  Although the Commission strongly encourages electronic filing, documents may also be paper-filed.  To paper-file, mail an original and seven copies to:  Kimberly D.
