k. Description of Request: On January 

13, 2021, PacifiCorp (transferor) and the 

Klamath River Renewal Corporation 

(Renewal Corporation) and the States of 

California and Oregon (transferees) 

jointly filed an application to transfer 

the license for the Lower Klamath 

Project No. 14803 from PacifiCorp to the 

Renewal Corporation and the States of 

California and Oregon as co-licensees. 

PacifiCorp and the transferees jointly 

propose to transfer the license to 

Renewal Corporation and the States of 

California and Oregon for the purpose of 

surrendering, decommissioning, and 

removing the project dams, if approved 

separately by the Commission. The 

project includes four developments: J.C. 

Boyle, Copco No. 1, Copco No. 2, and 

Iron Gate. 

On July 16, 2020, the Commission 

issued an order approving a partial 

transfer of the license for the project 

from PacifiCorp to PacifiCorp and the 

Renewal Corporation as co-licensees. 

PacifiCorp, 172 FERC ¶ 61,062 (2020). 

The order was contingent on PacifiCorp 

remaining on the license as a colicensee and required compliance with 

certain conditions before it would take 

effect. In the January 13 filing, 

PacifiCorp and the Renewal Corporation 

state that they do not accept their status 

as co-licensees under the July 16 order. 

On November 17, 2020, in a separate 

proceeding, PacifiCorp and the Renewal 

Corporation filed an amended 

application to surrender the license and 

decommission the Lower Klamath 

Project. Decommissioning activities 

would include the full removal of the 

four developments. The Commission 

issued notice of that application on 

December 16, 2020, soliciting 

comments, motions to intervene, and 

protests in the surrender proceeding. 

In the January 13 filing, the applicants 

request that, in any order approving the 

transfer, the Commission establish an 

extended period of time—until 30 days 

following any Commission order 

approving the surrender application— 

for the transferees to accept the license 

transfer and their co-licensee status. As 

a result, PacifiCorp would remain as the 

sole licensee for the Lower Klamath 

Project while the Commission considers 

what action to take on the surrender 

application.

filing may be viewed on the 

Commission’s website at http://
