    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
interveners 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 intervener 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. A copy 
of any motion to intervene must also be served upon each representative 
of the Applicant specified in the particular application.
    k. Description of Request: Energy Northwest proposes to install a 
permanent tailrace barrier within the existing tailrace canal for the 
purpose of preventing fish, both resident and anadromous, from 
traveling up the project tailrace and stilling basin. Such delays in 
migration could result in delayed spawning or pre-spawning mortality. 
Construction is planned for October 2007. The licensee has consulted 
with federal and state resource agencies in the barrier's design and in 
developing its proposal.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is

motions to intervene must be received on or before the specified

to file comments on the described application. A copy of the 
application may be obtained by agencies directly from the Applicant. If 
an agency does not file comments within the time specified for filing 
comments, it will be presumed to have no comments. One copy of an 
agency's comments must also be sent to the Applicant's representatives.
