    Take notice that on February 9, 2006, Public Utility District No. 1 
of Chelan County, Washington (Chelan PUD) filed with the Commission an 
application for approval of a contract for the sale of power from its 
licensed Rocky Reach Project No. 2145 and Rock Island Project No. 943, 
for a period from the expiration of its existing licenses for those 
Projects on June 30, 2006, and December 31, 2028, respectively, through 
October 31, 2031. The Projects are located on the Columbia River in 
Washington.
    Section 22 of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 815, provides that 
contracts for the sale and delivery of power for periods extending 
beyond the termination date of a license may be entered into upon the 
joint approval of the Commission and the appropriate state public 
service commission or other similar authority in the state in which the 
sale or delivery of power is made. Chelan PUD asserts that approval of 
the submitted contract is in the public interest.
    Comments on the request for approval of the power sales contract or 
motions to intervene may be filed with the Commission no later than 
March 9, 2006, and replies to comments no later than March 20, 2006. 
The Commission's Rules of Practice require all intervenors filing 
documents with the Commission to serve a copy of that document on each 
person 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.
    All documents (an original and eight copies) must be filed with:
