Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant County, Washington; Notice 
of Petition for Declaratory Order

April 19, 2000.
    On April 11, 2000, a petition for declaratory order was filed by 
PacifiCorp; Portland General Electric Company; Puget Sound Energy, 
Inc.; Eugene Water and Electric Board; City of McMinnville, Oregon; 
City of Forest Grove, Oregon; Kootenai Electric Cooperative, Inc.; 
Clearwater Power Company; Idaho County Light & Power Cooperative 
Association, Inc.; and Northern Lights, Inc. The petition requests the 
Commission to issue a declaratory order finding that Public Law No. 
544, 83d Congress, 68 Stat. 573 (1954), does not limit the identity of 
potential applicants for a new license for the Priest Rapids 
Hydroelectric Project No. 2114. The original license for the project 
was issued to the Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant County, 
Washington, effective November 1, 1955, and expires on October 31, 
2005.\1\ The petitioner assert that issuance of a declaratory order is 
necessary to resolve uncertainty regarding whether an entity other than 
Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant County or an agency of the State 
of Washington may obtain a new license to operate the project after the 
original license expires.
