[Project No. 2661]

Pacific Gas and Electric Company;

Notice of Authorization for Continued

Project Operation

October 17, 2000.

On September 24, 1998, Pacific Gas

and Electric Company, licensee for the

Hat Creek Project No. 2661, filed an

application for a new or subsequent

license pursuant to the Federal Power

Act (FPA) and the Commission’s

regulations thereunder. Project No. 2661

is located on Hat Creek in Shasta

County, California.

The license for Project No. 2661 was

issued for a period ending September

30, 2000. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16

U.S.C. 808(a)(1), requires the

Commission, at the expiration of a

license term, to issue from year to year

an annual license to the then licensee

under the terms and conditions of the

prior license until a new license is

issued, or the project is otherwise

disposed of as provided in Section 15 or

any other applicable section of the FPA.

If the project’s prior license waived the

applicability of Section 15 of the FPA,

then, based on Section 9(b) of the

Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.

558(c), and as set forth at 18 CFR

16.21(a), if the licensee of such project

has filed an application for a subsequent

license, the licensee may continue to

operate the project in accordance with

the terms and conditions of the license

after the minor or minor part license

expires, until the Commission acts on

its application. If the licensee of such a

project has not filed an application for

a subsequent license, then it may be

required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b),

to continue project operations until the

Commission issues someone else a

license for the project or otherwise

orders disposition of the project.

If the project is subject to Section 15

of the FPA, notice is hereby given that

an annual license for Project No. 2661

is issued to Pacific Gas and Electric

Company for a period effective October

1, 2000, through September 30, 2001, or

until the issuance of a new license for

the project or other disposition under

the FPA, whichever comes first. If

issuance of a new license (or other

disposition) does not take place on or

before September 30, 2001, notice is

hereby given that, pursuant to 18 CFR

16.18(c), an annual license under

Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA is renewed

automatically without further order or

notice by the Commission, unless the

Commission orders otherwise.

If the project is not subject to Section

15 of the FPA, notice is hereby given

that Pacific Gas and Electric Company is

authorized to continue operation of the

Hat Creek Project No. 2661 until such

time as the Commission acts on its

application for subsequent license.
