Take notice that on February 8, 2001, Portland General Electric Company (PGE), tendered for filing pursuant to section 205 of the Federal Power Act its FERC Electric Tariff—Fifth Revised Volume 11. Volume 11 provides for PGE to make sales at market-based rates, and the changes being implemented permit PGE to make sales under the EEI Master Power Purchase & Sale Agreement. PGE states that it requires the use of this agreement to sell power to the California Department of Water Resources (CDWR) and that it wishes to be able to use the agreement to sell to other parties as well.

PGE requests that the Fifth Revised Volume 11 be made effective as of February 7, 2001 so that sales to CDWR could commence immediately.
