DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 2100-074]
California Department of Water Resources; Notice Rejecting
Rehearing
January 17, 1997.
By order issued December 11, 1996, \1\ the Director, Division of
Licensing and Compliance (Division Director) approved a request filed
by the California Department of Water Resources (CDWR) to amend the
requirements of ordering paragraph (K) of the Commission's Order on
Revised Recreation Plan, issued September 22, 1994, for CDWR's Feather
River Project No. 2100, on the Feather River in Butte County,
California. \2\ The Division Director approved CDWR's request by
extending the filing date for CDWR's biannual report providing
recreational use data from November 1, 1996 to April 1, 1997, and
making subsequent reports due every two years thereafter on April 1,
instead of November 1.

\1\ 77 FERC para. 62,147.
\2\ See 68 FERC para. 61,358 (1994).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 23, 1996, the Lake Oroville Fish Enhancement Committee
(LOFEC) and the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance (CSPA)
filed a request for rehearing of the Division Director's order. LOFEC
and CSPA contend that they have been denied due process by the Division
Director's order.
Rehearing does not lie in this matter. CDWR's request for a change
in the due date for its recreation reports does not entail any material
change in the plan of project development or in the terms and
conditions of the license, nor does it adversely affect the rights of
property-holders in a manner not contemplated by the license, such that
the Commission should have issued notice of the filing or entertained
intervention petitions thereon. \3\ Accordingly, the request for
rehearing is rejected.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See, e.g., Sayles Hydro Associates, 48 FERC para. 61,049
(1989), and Kings River Conservation District, 36 FERC para. 61,881
(1986).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This notice constitutes final agency action. Requests for rehearing
by the Commission may be filed within 30 days of the date of issuance
of this notice, pursuant to 18 CFR 385.713.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
