    i. FERC Contact: Any questions on this notice should be addressed 
to Mr. Mohamad Fayyad (202) 219-2665 or by e-mail at 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#24494b4c454945400a42455d5d454064424156470a4241400a5157"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f79a989f969a9693d991968e8e9693b791928594d9919293d98284">[email protected]</span></a>.
    j. Deadline for filing comments and/or motions: March 23, 2001.
    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: 
David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. Comments and protests may be 
filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site 
at http://www.ferc.fed.us/efi/doorell.htm.
    Please include the project number (2030-033) on any comments or 
motions filed.
    k. Description of Filing: PGE proposes to replace the runners on 
two of the three turbines at the Round Butte Development of the 
project. The proposed new runners will have a maximum hydraulic 
capacity of 4,700 cfs at 345 ft net head, which represents an 
approximate 3% increase in the maximum hydraulic capacity of the 
turbines. The existing turbines are operated in their high efficiency 
range and the upgrade units would be operated in a similar manner. The 
capacity of the Round Butte Development would not change because it is 
limited by the generator capacity. Installation of new runners would 
provide increased flexibility in system load following and spinning 
reserve capability, and could alleviate some of the shortages in energy 
currently being experienced in that part of the Nation.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE, Room 2A, Washington, 
DC 20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371. This filing may be viewed on 
http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm [call (202) 208-2222 for 
assistance]. A copy is also available for inspection and reproduction 
at the address in item h above.
    m. Individuals desiring to be included on the Commission's mailing 
list should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission.
    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, 
.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.

served upon each representative of the Applicant specified in the 
particular application.
    p. Agency Comments--Federal, state, and local agencies are invited 
to file comments on the described application. A copy of the
