PacifiCorp; Notice of Petition for Declaratory Order

June 14, 2001.
    On March 15, 2001, PacifiCorp filed a petition for declaratory 
order regarding the American Fork Hydroelectric Project No. 6967. 
PacifiCorp requests that the Commission issue a declaratory order 
finding that PacifiCorp, as licensee of the American Fork Hydroelectric 
Project, enjoys a ``perpetual license'' for the project, and that 
consequently it is unnecessary for PacifiCorp to seek a new license for 
the project.\1\ PacifiCorp asserts that issuance of a declaratory order 
is necessary in order to resolve uncertainty regarding whether a new 
license is required for continued operation of the project.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The original license for the project was issued to 
PacifiCorp's predecessor, Utah Power & Light Company, on November 
24, 1975. PacificCorp timely filed an application for a new license 
in October 1998, two years before October 31, 2000, the expiration 
date for its original license. By notice issued November 14, 2000, 
the Commission issued PacificCorp an annual license for the project, 
and project operations are continuing pursuant to annual license, 
pending disposition of the relicense application.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest the petition should 
file comments, a protest, or motion to intervene in accordance with the 
requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 
CFR 385.210, 385.211 and 385.214. In determining the appropriate action 
to be taken, the Commission will consider all protests and other 
comments, but only those who file a motion to intervene may become 
parties to the proceeding. Comments, protests, or motions to intervene 
must be filed by within 30 days following publication of this notice in
