Good. Would the Collinsville Project be eligible for small hydropower exemptions because the power generated at those sites will be less than 5 megawatts?

So under those circumstances, aren't Reclamation's process concerns addressed, and why is it not appropriate to go ahead and move forward with this bill?

Great. So would Reclamation be supportive of a contract extension for longer than 4 years if the court process ends up extending beyond 2013?

So you're comfortable with that?

I suspect Senator Lee may have some questions or comments on this one.

It sounds like this is a project that will be very beneficial to the Town of Canton, and that you have been successful so far at least in working with FERC to move this application forward.

OK. How did the timeline specified in the bill compare to the timelines that FERC would ordinarily follow for processing an application?

But wouldn't going forward with an authorization of funding still be better than allowing that authorization to expire?

I think Senator Wyden may be coming, but there are a few questions that I have relative to this legislation.

OK. Reclamation recently received an appropriation of $121,000 to evaluate the feasibility of storing additional water at Lake Thunderbird.

Thank you. On S. 802, the storage of non-Project water in Lake Thunderbird in Oklahoma...

Thank you very much. We have a lot of small towns in New Hampshire with selectmen, too, so we appreciate your being here.

We appreciate your marathon responses on all of those pieces of legislation and thank all of the witnesses who are here this afternoon.

we know he has a very busy schedule.

Good afternoon, everybody. Hopefully that woke you all up.

I agree, that is a step in the right direction, but as has been pointed out, that device is available on the market in other countries.

Thank you to Senator Lieberman, to both of you, for holding this hearing today.

I do not particularly care who the producer of that system is.
