Public Utility District No. 1 of Lewis County; Notice Granting 
Extension of Time

January 16, 1997.
    On November 1, 1996, the Commission issued notice of Public Utility 
District No. 1 of Lewis County's (Lewis County) application for 
amendment of the license for its Cowlitz Falls Project No. 2833, 
located on the Cowlitz River in Lewis County, Washington. On December 
19, 1996, American Whitewater Affiliation and Rivers Council of 
Washington (AWA) jointly filed a timely motion to intervene in 
opposition in the amendment proceeding. Pursuant to Rule 213(d) of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure,\1\ the deadline for 
answers to AWA's motion was January 3, 1997.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 18 CFR 385.213(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 31, 1996, because of its delayed receipt of AWA's 
motion, Lewis County filed a request for a 30-day extension of time to 
answer the motion. Pursuant to Rule 213(d), Lewis County is granted a 
15-day extension of time to file an answer to AWA's intervention 
motion.\2\ Accordingly, the answer must be filed within 15 days of the 
issuance of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Section 213(d) of the Commission's Regulations provides 
that, generally, any answer to a motion must be made within 15 days 
after the motion is filed. Furthermore, answers to intervention 
motions are to address only the standing to intervene and not the 
merits of the intervenor's position, and 15 days is an adequate 
amount of time in which to do so.
