Wind, LLC (Rainbow West) (collectively, Petitioners) filed a petition 
requesting the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) 
initiate an enforcement action against the Idaho Public Utilities 
Commission (Idaho PUC) to remedy the rejection of (1) a Firm energy 
Sales Agreement between Rainbow Ranch and Idaho Power Company (IPC) and 
(2) a Firm Energy Sales Agreement between Rainbow West and IPC. In the 
alternative, Petitioners request that the Commission make specific

be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of 
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, 
motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. On or 
before the comment date, it is not necessary to serve motions to
