[Project No. 1986 Oregon]


Oregon Trail Electric Consumers Cooperative Inc.; Notice 
Soliciting Applications

June 1, 1995.
    On July 1, 1991, Oregon Trail Electric Consumers Inc., licensee for 
the Rock Creek Hydroelectric Project No. 1986, filed a notice of intent 
to file an application for a new license, pursuant to Section 15(b)(1) 
of the Federal Power Act (Act). The original license for Project No. 
1986 was issued effective June 30, 1946, and expires June 29, 1996. The 
project occupies 6.29 acres of lands of the United States within the 
Whitman National Forest.
    The project is located on the Rock Creek, a tributary of the Powder 
River, in Baker County, Oregon. The principal project works consist of: 
(a) a low concrete diversion dam; (b) a 8,800-foot-long flume; (c) a 
regulating forebay of about 7-acre-feet; (d) a 2,720-foot-long 
penstock; (e) a powerhouse with a total installed capacity of 800 kW; 
(f) a transmission line; and (g) appurtenant facilities.
    The licensee did not file an application for new license which was 
due by June 29, 1994. Pursuant to Section 16.25 of the Commission's 
Regulations, the Commission is soliciting applications from potential 
applicants other than the existing licensee. This is necessary because 
the deadline for filing an application for new license and any 
competing license applications, pursuant to Section 16.20 of the 
regulations, was June 29, 1994, and no other applications for license 
for this project were filed.
    Pursuant to Sec. 16.19 of the Commission's Regulations, the 
licensee is required to make available certain information described in 
Section 16.7 of the regulations. Such information is available from the 
licensee at 3275 Baker Street, Baker City, OR 97814.
    A potential applicant that files a notice of intent within 90 days 
from the date of issuance of this notice: (1) may apply for a license 
under part I of the Act and part 4 (except Section 4.38) of the 
Commission's Regulations within 18 months of the date on which it files 
its notice; and (2) must comply with the requirements of Section 16.8 
of the Commission's Regulations.

Secretary.
