    j. Deadline for Filing Comments, Motions to Intervene, and

    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with:

    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of 
that document on each person whose name appears on the official service 
list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or 
documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that 
may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they 
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    k. Description of Filing: Public Utility District No. 1 of Chelan 
County, Washington, filed an application requesting that its license be 
amended to include the construction and operation of a permanent 
juvenile fish bypass system as the Rocky Reach Hydroelectric Project. 
The bypass system would consist of a surface collector and intake 
screens located at the entrances to generating units 1 and 2 and a 
large diameter bypass conduit to transport fish to the tailrace. The 
bypass system would likely become a component of any long-term 
anadromous fish protection plan for the Rocky Reach Hydroelectic 
Project. If approved, construction of the proposed facility could begin 
on or near September 1, 2001, and the facility would be operable by 
April 2002. Comments and reply comments on the Amendment of License are 
due on the dates listed in item j above.
    l. A copy for the application is available for inspection and 
reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room at 888 First 
Street NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371. 
The application may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm. Call (202) 208-2222 for assistance. A copy is also 
available for inspection and reproduction at the address in item (h) 
above.
    m. Individuals desiring to be included on the Commission's mailing 
list should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission.
    Anyone may submit comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in 
accordance with the requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 
CFR 385.210, .211, .214. In determining the appropriate action to take, 
the Commission will consider all protests or other comments filed, but 
only those who file a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
Commission's Rules may become a party to the proceeding. Any comments, 
protests, or motions to intervene must be received on or before the 
specified comment date for the particular application.
    Any filing must bear in all capital letters the title ``COMMENTS,'' 
``RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TERMS AND CONDITIONS,'' ``PROTESTS,'' or ``MOTION 
TO INTERVENE,'' as applicable, and the Project Number of the particular 
application to which the filing refers. A copy of any motion to 
intervene must also be served upon each representative of the Applicant 
specified in the particular application.
    Federal, state, and local agencies are invited to file comments on 
the described application. A copy of the application may be obtained by 
agencies directly from the applicant. If any agency does not file 
comments within the time specified for filing comments, it will be 
presumed to have no comments. One copy of an agency's comments must 
also be sent to the Applicant's representatives.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
