    On January 29, 1996, Selkirk Cogen Partners, L.P. (Applicant), 24 
Power Park Drive, Selkirk, New York 12158, submitted for filing an 
application for recertification of a facility as a qualifying 
cogeneration facility pursuant to Section 292.205(b) of the 
Commission's Regulations. No determination has been made that the 
submittal constitutes a complete filing.
    According to Applicant, the topping-cycle cogeneration facility is 
located in Selkirk, New York. The Commission originally certified the 
facility as a qualifying cogeneration facility in JMC Selkirk, Inc., 48 
FERC para. 62,228 (1989) and recertified the facility in Selkirk Cogen 
Partners, L.P., 51 FERC para. 61,264 (1990). Additionally, on June 18, 
1990, October 16, 1992, March 10, 1993, and June 16, 1993, Applicant 
filed notices of self-recertification with respect to Phase I's 
qualifying status. The Commission recertified the facility, including 
Phase I and Phase II, in Selkirk Cogen Partners, L.P., 59 FERC para. 
62,254 (1992). On October 16, 1992, March 10, 1993, June 16, 1993, May 
2, 1994, and August 25, 1994, Applicant filed notices of self-
recertification with respect to the qualifying status of the facility. 
The Commission most recently recertified the facility in Selkirk Cogen 
Partners, L.P., 70 FERC para. 62,084 (1995) and in Selkirk Cogen 
Partners, L.P., 71 FERC para. 62,163 (1995). Applicant states that the 
instant recertification is requested due to changes in the operation of 
the facility.
    Comment date: 30 days after the date of publication of this notice

end of this notice.
