copy to: Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First

    m. The application is not ready for environmental analysis at this 
time.
    n. The existing Camp Far West Transmission Line Project (P-10821) 
is a transmission line-only project and does not generate power. The 
project serves as the primary transmission line for South Sutter Water 
District's Camp Far West Hydroelectric Project No. 2997. The currently 
licensed project includes a 1.9-mile-long, three-phase, 60-kilovolt 
(kV) transmission line extending from the powerhouse of the Camp Far 
West Hydroelectric Project (P-2997) in Placer County to an 
interconnection with PG&E's Smartville-Lincoln (formerly Smartville-
Pleasant Grove) 60-kV transmission line. PG&E now proposes to connect 
the project's 1.9-mile-long transmission line to an existing 9-mile-
long, northbound segment of the Smartville-Lincoln transmission line 
that connects to the Smartville-Nicholas No. 1 transmission line at 
Beale Air Force Base. Because the 9-mile-long northbound segment of the 
Smartville-Lincoln transmission line would only carrying electrons 
transmitted by the project, PG&E proposes to incorporate the 9-mile-
segment into any subsequent license issued for the project.

Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the
