[Project No. 2082-039]


PacifiCorp; Notice of Petition for Declaratory Order and 
Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Protests

November 9, 2005.
    On October 3, 2005, the United States Department of the Interior 
(Interior), filed a petition for a declaratory order to resolve matters 
relating to the terms and conditions of any annual license that may 
issue for the Klamath Hydroelectric Project No. 2082, which is licensed 
to PacifiCorp. The project is located primarily on the Klamath River in 
Klamath County, Oregon, and Siskiyou County, California.
    The petition contends that the project license includes a contract 
between Interior and PacifiCorp's predecessor in interest, California 
Oregon Power Company, which the Commission required to be executed and 
filed as a condition of issuance of the license (Link River Dam 
contract). The Link River Dam contract provides, among other things, 
for the licensee to furnish electric power at specified rates to the 
United States for pumping and drainage of irrigation water at the 
Klamath River irrigation project, which is administered by Interior's 
Bureau of Reclamation. Interior seeks a declaration that the terms and 
conditions of the Link River Dam contract, particularly those relating 
to the sale of power, will continue in force during any annual licenses 
issued for the project when the existing license expires on March 1, 
2006.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest the petition should 
file comments, a protest, or a 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 take, 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 within 10 days of publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register and must bear in all capital letters the title 
``COMMENTS,'' ``PROTEST,'' or ``MOTION TO INTERVENE,'' as applicable, 
and Project No. 2082-039.
    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 under the ``e-filing'' 
link.
    Send the filings (original and 8 copies) to: The Secretary, Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426. Copies of the petition for declaratory order are on file with 
the Commission and are available for public inspection in Room 2A and 
may also be viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov/onlinerims.htm. 
For assistance, call (202) 502-8222 or for TTY, (202) 208-1659.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
