Pacific Gas and Electric Company; Nevada Irrigation District; 
Notice Dismissing Motions to Intervene

February 10, 2009.
    On April 11, 2008, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), in 
Project No. 2310-173, and the Nevada Irrigation District (District), in 
Project No. 2266-096, filed Notices of Intent to File License 
Applications and Pre-Application Documents (PAD) under the Commission's 
integrated licensing process (ILP) for the Drum Spaulding and Yuba-Bear 
Hydroelectric Projects, respectively. On September 24, 2008, the County 
of Placer filed motions to intervene in these proceedings.

[[Page 7425]]

    Pursuant to Rule 214(a)(3) of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, any person may seek to intervene and become a party in a 
proceeding by filing a motion to intervene that complies with the 
content requirements of Rule 214(b).\1\ However, a motion to intervene 
in the ILP at the pre-application stage is not appropriate. Because 
PG&E and the District have not yet filed license applications, there 
are no proceedings in which to intervene and the motions to intervene 
in Project Nos. 2310-173 and 2266-096 are dismissed as premature. 
Should PG&E and the District file actual license applications, the 
Commission will then provide an opportunity for intervention.\2\
