PacifiCorp, Oregon and California; Notice of Intent To Hold an 
Additional Public Meeting for Discussion of the Draft Environmental 
Impact Statement for the Klamath Hydroelectric Project

November 9, 2006.
    On September 25, 2006, Commission staff delivered the Draft 
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the relicensing of the 
Klamath Hydroelectric project to the Environmental Protection Agency 
and mailed it to resource and land management agencies, interested 
organizations, and individuals.
    The DEIS was noticed in the Federal Register on September 29, 2006

issuance of a new license for the continued operation and maintenance 
of the Klamath Hydroelectric, located primarily on the Klamath River, 
in Klamath County, Oregon and Siskiyou County, California. The existing 
project occupies a total of 219 acres of land administered by the U.S. 
Bureaus of Land Management and Reclamation. It
