    k. Description of Filing: PG&E proposes to delete non-
jurisdictional transmission facilities from the project license. 
Specifically, PG&E states that the transmission lines extending from 
Curtis Substation to Spring Gap Powerhouse, including the Spring Gap 
Tap, are now used to serve distribution system load and are no longer 
subject to licensing as primary project lines within the meaning of 
Sec. 3(11) of the Federal Power Act. PG&E further states that the 
remaining portions of the transmission facilities extending from Spring 
Gap Junction to Donnells Powerhouse, and the Beardsley Tap remain 
jurisdictional and should remain in the license. The licensee filed 
revised exhibit J and K drawings to show those the transmission 
facilities which remain jurisdictional and those which they propose be 
removed from the license. Project boundaries were modified accordingly 
to reflect these changes. The licensee also filed a Transmission 
Operating Diagram (one-line diagram) of the project. The acreage of 
federal lands encompassed by the Project will be reduced by 69.18 
acres. PG&E has applied to the Forest Service for an easement to cover 
the continued operation and maintenance of the transmission lines to be 
removed from the project license.
