    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
interveners 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 intervener 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 any motion to intervene must also be served upon each representative 
of the Applicant specified in the particular application.
    k. Description of Request: The licensees are proposing to delete 
from the license the following transmission lines: 28.5-mile long, 69-
kV Don Pedro-Tuolumne Lines 1 and 2 extending from the Don Pedro 
switchyard to the Turlock Irrigation District's Tuolumne Substation;

South lines extending from the Don Pedro Switchyard to the Modesto 
Irrigation District's Reinway Substation. The licensees state that the

California, and thus are no longer ``primary lines.''
