PacifiCorp; Notice of Public Meetings Concerning the Relicensing 
of the Klamath Hydroelectric Project

December 24, 2008.
    On February 25, 2004, PacifiCorp filed an application to relicense 
its 169-MW Klamath Hydroelectric Project. In November 2007, Commission 
staff issued its final Environmental Impact Statement, in which it 
analyzed a number of alternatives for relicensing the project. To date, 
neither the states of Oregon nor California have acted on PacifiCorp's 
requests for certification under section 401 of the Clean Water Act, 
precluding Commission action on the license application.
    On November 24, 2008, PacifiCorp filed an Agreement in Principle, 
executed among PacifiCorp; the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, 
Commerce, and the Interior; and the States of California and Oregon, 
for the continued operation and potential future removal of Klamath 
Project dams.
    The Agreement in Principle is complex and may have a significant 
effect on the analysis of PacifiCorp's relicense application. The 
compatibility of the Agreement with the licensing process and the 
appropriate procedures for the continued processing of the application 
will be discussed. Commission staff will hold two public meetings to 
obtain public comment on these matters. The meetings will be held as 
follows.
    Date: Thursday, January 29, 2009.
    Time: 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. (PST).
    Place: Best Western Miner's Inn.
    Address: 122 East Miner Street, Yreka, California.
    For further information, please contact John Mudre at e-mail 
address john.mudre@ferc.gov or by telephone at (202) 502-8902.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
