Klamath Project be transferred from 

PacifiCorp to the Klamath River 

Renewal Corporation (Renewal 

Corporation) which, if the Commission 

were to approve its surrender 

application in a separate proceeding, 

would then surrender the project license

information setting forth the legal, 

technical, and financial capabilities of

n. Comments, Protests, or Motions to 

Intervene: Anyone may submit 

comments, a protest, or a motion to 

intervene in accordance with the 

requirements of Rules of Practice and 

Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211, and 

.214. In determining the appropriate 

action to take, the Commission will 

consider all protests or other comments 

filed, but only those who file a motion 

to intervene in accordance with the 

Commission’s Rules may become a 

party to the proceeding. Any comments, 

protests, or motions to intervene must 

be received on or before the specified 

comment date for the particular 

application. 

All filings must (1) bear in all capital 

letters the title COMMENTS, PROTEST, 

or MOTION TO INTERVENE as 

applicable; (2) set forth in the heading 

the name of the applicant and the 

project number of the application to 

which the filing responds; (3) furnish 

the name, address, and telephone 

number of the person protesting or 

intervening; and (4) otherwise comply 

with the requirements of 18 CFR 

385.2001 through 385.2005. All 

comments, motions to intervene, or 

protests must set forth their evidentiary 

basis and otherwise comply with the 

requirements of 18 CFR 4.34(b). 

Agencies may obtain copies of the 

application directly from the applicant. 

A copy of any protest or motion to 

intervene must be served upon each 

representative of the applicant specified 

in the particular application. 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 all other filings in reference 

to this application must be accompanied 

by proof of service on all persons listed 

in the service list prepared by the 

Commission in this proceeding, in 

accordance with 18 CFR 4.34(b) and 

385.2010. 

o. Additional Information: The 

Renewal Corporation’s request to 

surrender and decommission the Lower 

Klamath Project, also filed on 

September 23, 2016, will be considered 

in a separate proceeding. The surrender, 

including removal of the project dams, 

is contingent upon a Commission order 

amending PacifiCorp’s existing Klamath 

Project (P–2082) license to create a new 

project, the Lower Klamath Project, and 

transferring the Lower Klamath Project 

to the Renewal Corporation, as 

described in item (k), above, and 

Commission approval of the surrender 

application. The Renewal Corporation 

requests that the Commission not act on 

the surrender request until it is ready to 

accept license transfer and states that it 

will file, by December 31, 2017, its 

decommissioning plan to serve as the 

basis for Commission staff’s 

environmental and engineering review 

of the surrender application. Because 

only a licensee may file to surrender a 

license and the Commission does not 

accept contingent applications, the 

surrender application is deemed to be 

filed by both PacifiCorp and the 

Renewal Corporation. See 18 CFR. 6.1 

and 4.32(j). If the Commission approves 

the transfer and the Renewal 

Corporation accepts the license, 

following which the Renewal 

Corporation would become the sole 

licensee, the surrender proceeding 

would continue solely in Project No. 

14803. We are not requesting comments 

at this time on the surrender 

application. After receiving the 

applicants’ supplemental filing 

regarding a decommissioning plan, the 


asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES
47498 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 196 / Thursday, October 12, 2017 / Notices 

Commission will issue a notice 

requesting comments, protests, and 

motions to intervene in that proceeding.
