[Docket No. NJ03-3-000]


Bonneville Power Administration; Notice of Filing

July 15, 2003.
    Take notice that on July 7, 2003, the Bonneville Power 
Administration (Bonneville) filed a Petition for a Declaratory Order 
Maintaining Reciprocity Approval of Its Open Access Transmission Tariff 
(OATT) and an Exemption In Lieu of a Filing Fee with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission (Commission). Bonneville states that it has 
revised sections 13.2, 14.2, 17.1 and 18.1 of its OATT to change its 
procedure for awarding short-term transmission requests. Bonneville 
explains that these revisions eliminate the right of first refusal to 
match competing requests for short-term transmission service and adopt 
a first-come, first-served approach. Bonneville further explains that 
it has also revised Attachment K to its OATT in accordance with the 
2004 Rate Case Settlement. Additionally, Bonneville states that it has 
refiled its entire OATT to voluntarily adopt the Order No. 614 
pagination standards, as applicable.
    Bonneville states that the Commission found its OATT to be an 
acceptable reciprocity transmission tariff, effective October 1, 2001, 
by Order Granting Petition for Declaratory Order, 94 FERC 61,317 (March 
19, 2001) and Order on Tariff Amendment, 96 FERC 62,337 (September 28, 
2001). Bonneville further states that it now seeks a declaratory order 
finding that its OATT, as revised by this filing, continues to maintain 
its reciprocity status. Bonneville has also requested an expedited 
approval process, making the changes effective as of August 15, 2003.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing should 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 
NE., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 
385.214). Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining 
the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make 
protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a 
party must file a motion to intervene. All such motions or protests 
should be filed on or before the comment date, and, to the extent
