[Project No. 2042-008]


Public Utility District No. 1 of Pend Oreille County, Washington; 
Notice Of Application For Approval of Contracts For The Sale Of Power 
for A Period Extending Beyond The Term of The License

November 6, 1997.
    On October 3, 1997, pursuant to Section 22 of the Federal Power 
Act, 16 U.S.C. Sec. 815, Public Utility District No. 1 of Pend Oreille 
County, Washington (Pend Oreille), filed an application requesting 
Commission approval of a contract for the sale of power from the Box 
Canyon Project No. 2042 for a period extending approximately three and 
one-half years beyond the January 30, 2002 expiration date of the 
license. The project is located on the Pend Oreille River in Pend 
Oreille County, Washington.
    Section 22 provides that contracts for the sale and delivery of 
power for periods 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 or delivery of power is made. Pend 
Oreille states in its application that Commission approval of the power 
sales contract is in the public interest because the contract permitted 
Pend Oreille to finance the construction of the project when it did not 
have the necessary credit rating to do so independently.
    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 and 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 may 
became 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 Register]; must bear in all capital letters the 
title ``COMMENTS,'' ``PROTEST,'' or ``MOTION TO INTERVENE,'' as 
applicable, and ``Project No. 2042.'' Send the filings (original and 14 
copies) to: The Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20426. A copy of any filing must 
also be served upon each representative of the licensee specified in 
its application.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
