Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant Country, Washington;
Notice of Application for Approval of Contracts for the Sale of Power
for a Period Extending Beyond the Term of the License
December 14, 1995.
On October 16, 1995, pursuant to Section 22 of the Federal Power
Act, 16 U.S.C. 815, and the Commission's order in Kootenai Electric No.
2 of Grant Country, Washington (Grant County), filed an application
requesting Commission approval of contracts for the sale of power from
the Wanapum Development of its licensed Priest Rapids Project No. 2114,
for the approximately four-year period that the power sales contracts
extends beyond the 2005 expiration date of the project's license. The
project is located on the Columbia River in Chelan, Douglas, Kittitas,
Grant, Yakima, and Benton Counties, Washington.
Section 22 provides that contracts for the sale and delivery of
power for period extending beyond the termination date of a license may
be entered into upon the joint approval of the Commission and the
appropriate state public service Commission or other similar authority
in the state in which the sale of delivery or power is made. Grant
County states in its application that Commission approval of the
Wanapum Development power sales contracts is required because the
revenues from those contracts have been pledged to secure repayment of
bonds (which expire when the power sales contracts expire) that the
licensee issued to finance construction of the Wanapum Development.
Anyone may submit comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, 385.211, 385.214. In determining the
appropriate action to take, the Commission will consider all protests
and other comments, but only those who file a motion to intervene in
accordance with the Commission's rules may become a party to the
proceeding. Comments, protests, or motions to intervene must be filed
by the 30th day following publication of this notice in the Federal
[[Page 65650]]
Register; must bear in all capital letters the title ``COMMENTS,''
``PROTESTS,'' or ``MOTION TO INTERVENE,'' as applicable, and ``Project
No. 2114-040.'' Send the filings (original and 14 copies) to: The
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street,
N.W., Washington, D.C. 20426. A copy of any filing must also be served
upon each representative of the license specified in its application.
