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.

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
