    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

must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    k. The City of Tacoma filed an application seeking approval for 
installation of a small hydroelectric unit at the base of LaGrande dam 
to provide the 30-cubic-foot-per-second minimum flow release required 
by article 403 of the project's license and to recover some of the 
electrical energy lost due to the minimum flow being released from the 
dam instead of through the powerhouse. The unit would be installed at 
the base of LaGrande dam adjacent to the river outlet valve.

the Commission will consider all protests or other comments filed, but

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.
