Public Utility District No. 1 of Pend Oreille County, WA; Notice 
of Site Visit For Amendment of License

March 6, 1998.
    On February 18, 1997, the Public Utility District No. 1 of Pend 
Oreille County, Washington, licensee, filed an application with the 
Commission to amend its license for the existing Box Canyon 
Hydroelectric Project (project). The proposed amendment would extend 
the limit of the upstream project boundary from River Mile (RM) 34.4 
near Ruby, Washington, to the Corps of Engineers' Albeni Falls Dam at 
RM 90.1. The acreage added as a consequence of this modification would 
include approximately 492 acres of federal lands within the Kalispell 
Indian Reservation.
    The Commission staff currently are preparing an environmental 
assessment of the proposed license amendment; consequently, they plan 
to conduct a site visit to observe project lands and facilities with 
representatives of the PUD. The site visit will be held on Tuesday, 
March 24, 1998, form 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
    All interested individuals, organizations, and agencies are invited 
to attend the site visit. Participants will meet at 9:00 a.m. at the 
PUD office located at 130 North Washington Street in Newport, 
Washington. The licensee will provide transportation during the site 
visit. Participants should bring their own lunches for the day-long 
event.
    Persons who plan to attend the site visit are requested to notify 
Mr. Bob Geddes of the PUD at least 48 hours prior to the site visit so 
that the licensee can arrange to have sufficient bus/van transportation 
available. His telephone number is (509) 447-9342.
    For further information, please contact Patricia Weslowski at (617) 
444-3330; ext. 432.

Acting Secretary.
