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. A copy of any motion to intervene must also be served upon each representative of the applicant specified in a particular application.

                    l.                     *Description of Request:*                     We consider the application filed on April 28, 2008, as consisting of two requests: A surrender of license application under P-3041 and a conduit exemption application under P-13382.                

                    a.                     *Surrender of license:*                     The applicant proposes to surrender the license for the Hettinger Hydroelectric Project No. 3041. The applicant proposes to decommission and remove the following project facilities: Powerhouse, disconnect penstock, disconnect exhaust pipe, and intake. The project's powerhouse will be relocated and used for the conduit exemption project described in section (b) below. The applicant proposes to restore the site following removal of the facilities.                

                    b.                     *Conduit Exemption:*                     The applicant proposes a conduit exemption for the Hettinger Hydroelectric Project No. 13382-000. The proposed project would be located on its irrigation system in Idaho County, Idaho, and would consist of: A new intake structure, a penstock, a powerhouse containing one generating unit having an installed capacity of 17.9 kilowatts, and appurtenant facilities. The applicant consulted with Federal, State, local agencies, and other parties with potential interest, during the conduit exemption application process. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game has already provided its terms and conditions on May 27, 2008, however, they were filed under Project No. 3041. On October 30, 2008, we issued a public notice of the Conduit Exemption application soliciting comments, motions to intervene and competing applications. In this notice we are only soliciting “Terms and Conditions”.
