    k. Description of Application: PG&E proposes to delete non-
jurisdictional transmission lines and their associated facilities from 
their licenses. Studies of PG&E's transmission system shows that the 
lines proposed for deletion carry energy from other electric generating 
sources and are no longer primary lines. Removing these lines from the 
project license will not result in any physical change to these 
transmission facilities or to their operation.
    The Commission is presently processing applications for new 
licenses for four of the projects: Mokelumne (137-022), Rock Creek-
Cresta (1962-026), Crane Valley (1354-021), and Hass-Kings River (1988-
023). We request comments regarding primary/non-primary status of the 
subject transmission lines under section 3 (11) of the Federal Power 
Act and Subpart H, Section 4.30 of our regulations.

will consider all protests or other comments filed, but only those who 
file a motion to intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules
