Take notice that on November 23, 2004, Public Utility District No. 1 of Douglas County, Washington (Douglas PUD), the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation (Tribe), and the Wells Power Purchasers (Puget Sound Energy, Inc., Portland General Electric Company, PacificCorp, and Avista Corporation, collectively) filed with the Commission: (1) A request for approval of a settlement agreement between Douglas PUD and the Tribe resolving all claims involving annual charges under Section 10(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 803(e), for use of Indian land for Douglas PUD’s Wells Project No. 2149; and (2) an application for approval of a contract for the sale of power from the project extending beyond the term of the project license, which expires on May 31, 2012. The project is located on the Columbia River in Chelan, Douglas, Kittitas, Grant, Yakima, and Benton Counties, Washington. Under the settlement agreement Douglas PUD and the Tribe agree to a lump-sum payment to the Tribe, in the form of cash and real property and a share in the power output of project in fulfillment of all annual charge obligations to the Tribe for the term of the current license and any new license for the Wells Project issued to Douglas PUD. The settlement agreement by its terms would terminate if Douglas PUD is not granted a new license for the project. Both parties assert that the settlement is fair and serves the public interest by satisfying the purposes of section 10(e) of the FPA without the necessity of time-consuming and costly litigation over annual charge claims. Section 22 of the FPA, 16 U.S.C. 815, provides that contracts for the sale and VerDate jul<14>2003 17:37 Jan 11, 2005 Jkt 205001 delivery of power for periods extending beyond the termination date of a license may be entered into upon the joint approval of the Commission and the appropriate state public service Commission or other similar authority in the state in which the sale or delivery of power is made. Douglas PUD and the Tribe have pursuant to the settlement agreement submitted for Commission approval a power sales contract providing the Tribe a share of the project’s output that would extend beyond the term of the current project license. The tribe would acquire 4.5 percent of the output of the project through 2018 and 5.5 percent thereafter for as long as Douglas PUD holds any license for the Wells Project. The power would be bought by the Tribe at cost. The parties assert that approval of the submitted contract is in the public interest because the contract is part of the global settlement of issues addressed by the settlement and because of the special relationship of the Tribe to the Wells Project as result of the geographic proximity of the Tribe’s reservation to the project. Comments on the settlement agreement and the request for approval of the power sales contract or motions to intervene may be filed with the Commission no later than January 19, 2005, and replies to comments no later than January 25, 2005. The Commission’s Rules of Practice require all intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of that document on each person on the official service list for the project.

requires the Commission, at the expiration of a license term, to issue 
from year to year an annual license to the then licensee under the

and as set forth at 18 CFR 16.21(a), if the licensee of such project 
has filed an application for a subsequent license, the licensee may 
continue to operate the project in accordance with the terms and

expires, until the Commission acts on its application. If the licensee 
of such a project has not filed an application for a subsequent 
license, then it may be required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b), to

license for the project or otherwise orders disposition of the project.
    If the project is subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is 
hereby given that an annual license for Project No. 2233 is issued to 
Portland General Electric Company for a period effective January 1, 
2005, through December 31, 2005, or until the issuance of a new license

pursuant to 18 CFR 16.18(c), an annual license under section 15(a)(1) 
of the FPA is renewed automatically without further order or notice by 
the Commission, unless the Commission orders otherwise.
    If the project is not subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is 
hereby given that Portland General Electric Company is authorized to 
continue operation of the Willamette Falls Project No. 2233 until such 
time as the Commission acts
