[email protected].
    j. Deadline for filing motions to intervene and protests and 
requests for cooperating agency status: 60 days from the issuance date 
of this notice.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file 
motions to intervene and protests and requests for cooperating agency 
status using the Commission's eFiling system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. For assistance, please contact FERC Online 
Support at [email protected], (866) 208-3676 (toll free), or 
(202) 502-8659 (TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, please send a paper 
copy to: Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street NE, Washington, DC 20426. The first page of any filing should 
include docket number P-10821-005.
    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.
    k. This application has been accepted, but is not ready for 
environmental analysis at this time.
    l. Project Description: 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 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 to an interconnection with PG&E's 
Smartville-Lincoln 60-kV transmission line.
    PG&E proposes to connect the project's licensed 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 carry electricity transmitted by the project, PG&E 
proposes to incorporate the 9-mile-segment into any subsequent license 
issued for the project.
    m. A copy of the application is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's website at http://www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link. 
Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket 
number field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC

accordance with the requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 
CFR 385.210, 385.211, and 385.214. In determining the appropriate 
action to take, the Commission will consider all protests filed, but 
only those who file a motion to intervene in accordance with the
