SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BPA was 

established in 1937 as a Federal Power 

Marketing Agency in the Pacific 

Northwest. BPA operations are financed 

from power revenues rather than annual 

appropriations. BPA’s purchasing 

operations are conducted under 16 

U.S.C. 832 et seq. and related statutes. 

Pursuant to these special authorities, the 

BPI is promulgated as a statement of 

purchasing policy and as a body of 

interpretative regulations governing the 

conduct of BPA purchasing activities. It 

is significantly different from the 

Federal Acquisition Regulation, and 

reflects BPA’s private sector approach to 

purchasing the goods and services that 

it requires. BPA’s financial assistance 

operations are conducted under 16 

U.S.C. 839 et seq. and 16 U.S.C. 839 et 

seq. The BFAI express BPA’s financial 

assistance policy. The BFAI also 

comprise BPA’s rules governing 

implementation of the principles 

provided in the following Federal 

Regulations and/or OMB circulars: 

2 CFR part 220 Cost Principles for 

Educational Institutions (CircularA–21); 

2 CFR part 225 Cost Principles for 

State, Local and Indian Tribal 

Governments (Circular A–87); 

Grants and Cooperative Agreements 

with State and Local Governments 

(Circular A–102); 

Uniform Administrative 

Requirements for Grants and 

Agreements with Institutions of Higher 

Education, Hospitals and Other NonProfit Organizations (Circular A–110); 

2 CFR part 230 Cost Principles for 

Non-Profit Organizations (Circular A– 

122); and 

Audits of States, Local Governments 

and Non-Profit Organizations (Circular 

A–133). 

BPA’s solicitations and contracts 

include notice of applicability and 

availability of the BPI and the BFAI, as 

appropriate, for the information of 

offerors on particular purchases or 

financial assistance transactions. 

Issued in Portland, Oregon, on September

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 2144–000] 

City of Seattle; Notice of Authorization 

for Continued Project Operation 

On September 29, 2009, the City of 

Seattle, licensee for the Boundary 

Hydroelectric Project, filed an 

Application for a New License pursuant 

to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the 

Commission’s regulations thereunder. 

The Boundary Hydroelectric Project is 

located on the Pend Oreille River in 

Pend Oreille County, Washington. 

The license for Project No. 2144 was 

issued for a period ending September 

30, 2011. 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. 2144 

is issued to the City of Seattle for a 

period effective October 1, 2011 through 

September 30, 2012, 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
