July 17, 2000.

Take notice that on July 12, 2000, Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo) filed a supplement to its application under Section 203 of the Federal Power Act for authorization to dispose of transmission facilities. The specific facilities addressed in the application are two 4/115kV generation step-up transformers interconnecting the powerhouse of PSCo's Boulder Canyon Hydroelectric Project (Boulder Project) to PSCo's transmission system. In its application, PSCo states that it is transferring these facilities to the City of Boulder, Colorado, as part of its proposed sale of the Boulder Project to that City. The supplement provides a brief explanation as to why the transaction will not have an adverse effect on competition, rates, or regulation.

All such motions or protests must be filed on or before July 26, 2000. Protests will be considered by the Commission to determine the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceedings.
