Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20426. The first page of any filing should include
docket number P-2055-099.
The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all
intervenors 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 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.
k. Description of Request: Idaho Power Company (IPC) filed a five-
year compliance report for the C.J. Strike Project's approved land
management plan as well as proposed updates to the existing plan.
Updates include new land-use classification maps based off previously
approved changes and modifications to the use classification of private
boat docks on conservation and agriculture/grazing land. IPC proposes
to change the use classification of private boat docks to
``conditional'' in conservation and agriculture/grazing land-use areas,
which are currently listed as prohibited uses. To remain consistent
across projects, IPC proposes the modification due to changes in land
ownership and land use patterns from open-range grazing to private/
rural-residential uses in the project area, as well as at several other
IPC projects. IPC states that by listing private boat docks as
conditional it would review all applications to ensure the proposal
does not have adverse resource effects. Additionally, all dock
applications would be required to meet the IPC's existing boat dock
standards and applicants would be required to obtain the required state
and federal permits and consult with specified resource agencies.
l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington,
