    a. Application Type: Amendment of License.
    b. Project No.: 2030-035.
    c. Date Filed: June 19, 2001.
    d. Applicant: Portland General Electric Company (PGE).
    e. Name of Project: Pelton Round Butte Hydroelectric Project.
    f. Location: The Pelton Round Butte Hydroelectric Project is 
located on the Deschutes River in Jefferson, Marion, and Wasco 
Counties, Oregon. The project occupies lands of the Deschutes National 
Forest; Mt Hood National Forest; Willamette National Forest; Crooked 
River National Grassland; Bureau of Land Management; and tribal lands 
of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon.
    g. Filed Pursuant to: Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 791(a)-825(r).
    h. Applicant Contact: Julie Keil, Director of Hydro Licensing and 
Water Rights, Portland General Electric Company, 121 SW Salmon Street, 
3WTC-BRHL, Portland, OR 97204, (503) 464-8864.
    i. FERC Contact: Questions about this notice can be answered by Nan 
Allen at (202) 219-2938 or e-mail address: [email protected]. The 
Commission cannot accept comments, recommendations, motions to 
intervene or protests sent by e-mail; these documents must be filed as 
described below.
    j. Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, and 
protests: 14 days from the issuance date of this notice.
    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: 
David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Comments, protests and 
interventions may be filed electronically via the internet in lieu of 
paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the 
Commission's web site at http://www.ferc.fed.us/efi/doorbell.htm.
    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: PGE has filed a request to amend the 
project license to permit installation of a 70-kilowatt generating unit 
on the west grout tunnel at the Round Butte development. This tunnel 
drains ground water from the dam area and provides a steady flow of 
about 24 cfs at about 55 feet of head. PGE proposes to use generation 
from this unit for station service, allowing additional project 
generation to be delivered to PGE's system. PGE's analysis shows that 
the additional generation would be about 382 megawatt hours annually. 
In its request, PGE said that the unit would be fabricated offsite and 
all onsite installation would be completed out of water. Other 
generating units in the powerhouse would operate normally during 
installation.
    l. A copy of 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-

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
