Background

    This notice provides an extension of time to file an application 
for the 2005 Resource Pool from December 20, 1999, to January 19, 2000.
    The Marketing Plan describes how the Sierra Nevada Region will 
market its power resources from the Central Valley Project, Washoe 
Project, and other sources beginning January 1, 2005, through December 
31, 2024. The 2005 Resource Pool is available for new power allocations 
to qualified entities. Preference entities who wish to apply for a new 
allocation of power from Western's Sierra Nevada Region must submit 
formal applications conforming to the procedures in the Dates Section 
above. Eligibility and allocation criteria are defined in the Marketing 
Plan and the Call for 2005 Resource Pool Applications. Procedures for 
applying for power from the Sierra Nevada Region are also provided in 
the Call for 2005 Resource Pool Applications.
    Existing customers' conditional resource extension percentages are 
listed in the Marketing Plan. Existing customers do not need to submit 
applications for resource extensions. However, if an existing customer 
wishes to apply for a new allocation of power in addition to its 
resource extension, it must meet the eligibility criteria and submit an 
application.
