|Flowchart=File:8-ID-e - State NIETC Route Approval Process.pdf
|PermitOverview=In Idaho, a transmitting utility (developer) may need a Route Certificate from the [[Idaho Public Utility Commission]] (PUC) to site a transmission facility in excess of 115kV capacity in a designated National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor (NIETC). A “transmitting utility” is defined as “…an entity that owns, operates or controls facilities for the transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce.”[[ Idaho – Idaho Code §§ 61-1701–61-1709, Siting of Certain Electrical Transmission Facilities| Idaho Code § 61-1702(7)]]. An NIETC is defined as “any geographic area designated by the Secretary of Energy as experiencing electric energy transmission capacity constraints or congestion…” [[Idaho – Idaho Code §§ 61-1701–61-1709, Siting of Certain Electrical Transmission Facilities| Idaho Code § 61-1702(5)]]. Although the authority of the PUC is normally limited to public utilities, PUC authority is expanded by statute to apply to any construction or modification of transmission facilities in NIETC’s, whether or not the construction or modification is by a public utility. [[Idaho – Idaho Code §§ 61-1701–61-1709, Siting of Certain Electrical Transmission Facilities| Idaho Code § 61-17]]. The PUC may also preempt local government land use decisions regarding the construction of transmission facilities. [[Idaho – Idaho Code §§ 61-1701–61-1709, Siting of Certain Electrical Transmission Facilities| Idaho Code § 61-1703(3)]].

==8-ID-e.21 to 8-ID-e.25 – Notice of Appeal==
A final order denying reconsideration or denying an application after reconsideration is appealable to the Idaho Supreme Court. The developer must file a Notice of Appeal. The Notice of Appeal must be served by the developer on all parties to the action and all persons who appeared in the prior proceedings, whether or not they were parties to the action. [[Idaho Appellate Rules | Idaho App. R. 20]]. The required contents of the Notice of Appeal are enumerated in [[Idaho Appellate Rules | Idaho App. R. 17]]. If, upon review by the Idaho Supreme Court, the PUC order denying the application is overturned, the PUC must grant the application. If the Idaho Supreme Court upholds the PUC order denying the application, the project cannot continue.
