Submissions sent via the U.S. Postal Service must be addressed to: 
Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426. Submissions sent via 
any other carrier must be addressed to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 12225 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, 
Maryland 20852. The first page of any filing should include the docket 
number P-1927-140. Comments emailed to Commission staff are not 
considered part of the Commission record.
    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.
    k. Description of Request: PacifiCorp proposes to amend the project 
license to construct, operate, and maintain new pumped storage 
facilities connecting the existing Toketee and Fish Creek developments. 
The new infrastructure will include a pump with an approximately 969-
foot-long, 48-inch conduit connecting the Toketee and Fish Creek 
penstocks and spanning the North Umpqua River. PacifiCorp states that 
the new infrastructure will create a pump storage system utilizing the 
Toketee Reservoir as the source of water and the existing Fish Creek 
forebay as the upper storage reservoir. PacifiCorp states the upgrade 
is not expected to increase the total installed capacity of the 
Project. It will use the existing 11-megawatt Fish Creek Powerhouse for 
pumped storage generation.
