The Commission cannot accept comments, recommendations, motions to
intervene or protests sent by e-mail; these documents must be filed as
described below.
j. Deadline for Filing Comments, Motions to Intervene, and
Protests: 30 days from the issuance date of this notice.
All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with:
David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426. Comments and protests may be
filed electronically via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR

[[Page 15115]]
The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all
intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of
that document on each person whose name appears on the official service
list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or
documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that
may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
k. Description of Filing: Public Utility District No. 1 of Chelan
County, Washington, filed an application requesting that its license be
amended to include the construction and operation of a permanent
juvenile fish bypass system as the Rocky Reach Hydroelectric Project.
The bypass system would consist of a surface collector and intake
screens located at the entrances to generating units 1 and 2 and a
large diameter bypass conduit to transport fish to the tailrace. The
bypass system would likely become a component of any long-term
anadromous fish protection plan for the Rocky Reach Hydroelectic
Project. If approved, construction of the proposed facility could begin
on or near September 1, 2001, and the facility would be operable by
April 2002. Comments and reply comments on the Amendment of License are
due on the dates listed in item j above.
l. A copy for the application is available for inspection and
reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room at 888 First
Street NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371.
The application may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/
online/rims.htm. Call (202) 208-2222 for assistance. A copy is also
available for inspection and reproduction at the address in item (h)
above.
m. Individuals desiring to be included on the Commission's mailing
list should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission.
Anyone may submit comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in
accordance with the requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18
CFR 385.210, .211, .214. In determining the appropriate action to take,
the Commission will consider all protests or other comments filed, but
only those who file a motion to intervene in accordance with the
Commission's Rules may become a party to the proceeding. Any comments,
protests, or motions to intervene must be received on or before the
specified comment date for the particular application.
Any filing must bear in all capital letters the title ``COMMENTS,''
``RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TERMS AND CONDITIONS,'' ``PROTESTS,'' or ``MOTION
TO INTERVENE,'' as applicable, and the Project Number of the particular
application to which the filing refers. A copy of any motion to
intervene must also be served upon each representative of the Applicant
specified in the particular application.
Federal, state, and local agencies are invited to file comments on
the described application. A copy of the application may be obtained by
agencies directly from the applicant. If any agency does not file
comments within the time specified for filing comments, it will be
presumed to have no comments. One copy of an agency's comments must
also be sent to the Applicant's representatives.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
