French Paper Company; Notice Rejecting Request for Rehearing

March 23, 1998.
    On February 10, 1998, the Acting Director, Office of Hydropower 
Licensing, issued an order modifying and approving the fish entrainment 
study recommendations proposed by French Paper Company, licensee for 
the French Paper Project No. 10624. 82 FERC para. 62,134. On March 12, 
1998, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (Michigan DNR) filed 
a request for rehearing of this order with the Commission.
    Under Section 313(a) of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 825l(a), a 
request for rehearing may be filed only by a party to the proceeding. 
In order to become a party to any Commission proceeding, an interested 
person must file a motion to intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the 
Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.214. Michigan DNR's prior 
intervention in the licensing proceeding for this project does not 
continue into post-licensing proceedings.\1\ Because Michigan DNR did 
not file a motion to intervene in this post-licensing proceeding, it 
therefore is not a party. Consequently, its request for rehearing is 
rejected.

    This notice constitutes final agency action. Requests for rehearing 
by the Commission of this rejection notice must be filed within 30 days 
of the date of issuance of this notice pursuant to 18 CFR 385.713.

Acting Secretary.
