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 (71 FR 57503), with a comment deadline of November 24, 2006. The DEIS evaluates the environmental consequences of the 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 also evaluates the environmental effects of implementing the licensee’s proposals, agency and NGO recommendations, staff’s recommendations, and the no-action alternative. On October 6, 2006, we noticed four public meetings to receive comments on the DEIS (71 FR 60,505), which will be recorded by an official stenographer, as follows. Date: Tuesday, November 14, 2006.

This constitutes notice, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of the receipt of prohibited and exempt off-the-record communications. Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, September 22, 1999) requires Commission decisional employees, who make or receive a prohibited or exempt off-the-record communication relevant to the merits of a contested proceeding, to deliver to the Secretary of the Commission, a copy of the communication, if written, or a summary of the substance of any oral communication. Prohibited communications are included in a public, non-decisional file associated with, but not a part of, the decisional record of the proceeding. Unless the Commission determines that the prohibited communication and any responses thereto should become a part of the decisional record, the prohibited off-the-record communication will not be considered by the Commission in reaching its decision. Parties to a proceeding may seek the opportunity to respond to any facts or contentions made in a prohibited off-the-record communication, and may request that the Commission place the prohibited communication and responses thereto in the decisional record. The Commission will grant such a request only when it determines that fairness so requires. Any person identified below as having made a prohibited off-the-record communication shall serve the document on all parties listed on the official service list for the applicable proceeding in accordance with Rule 2010, 18 CFR 385.2010. Exempt off-the-record communications are included in the decisional record of the proceeding, unless the communication was with a cooperating agency as described by 40 CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR 385.2201(e)(1)(v).
