On December 1, 2005, in Project No. 2157–167, Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County, Washington (Snohomish PUD) and the City of Everett (Everett) filed a Notice of Intent to File a License Application and a PreApplication Document (PAD) under the Commission’s integrated licensing process (ILP) for the Henry M. Jackson Project. On February 6, 2009, Snohomish County filed a motion to intervene in this proceeding. Pursuant to Rule 214(a)(3) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, any person may seek to intervene and become a party in a proceeding by filing a motion to intervene that complies with the content requirements of Rule 214(b).1 However, a motion to intervene in the ILP at the pre-application stage is not appropriate. Because Snohomish PUD and Everett have not yet filed a license application, there is no proceeding in which to intervene, and consequently the motion to intervene in Project No. 2157–167 is dismissed as premature. Should Snohomish PUD and Everett file a license application, the Commission will then provide an opportunity for intervention.2 This notice constitutes final agency action.

Before Commissioners: Jon Wellinghoff, Acting Chairman; Suedeen G. Kelly, Marc Spitzer, and Philip D. Moeller. Electric Quarterly Reports: Docket No. ER02–2001–010. Celeren Corporation: Docket No. ER06–1152–000.

The Commission further stated that, BILLING CODE 6717–01–P VerDate Nov<24>2008 1. Section 205 of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. 824d (2006), and 18 CFR part 35 (2008), require, among other things, that all rates, terms, and conditions of jurisdictional services be filed with the Commission. In Order No. 2001, the Commission revised its public utility filing requirements and established a requirement for public utilities, including power marketers, to file Electric Quarterly Reports summarizing the contractual terms and conditions in their agreements for all jurisdictional services (including market-based power sales, cost-based power sales, and transmission service) and providing transaction information (including rates) for short-term and long-term power sales during the most recent calendar quarter.1 2. Commission staff’s review of the Electric Quarterly Report submittals indicates that two utilities with authority to sell electric power at market-based rates have failed to file their Electric Quarterly Reports. This order notifies these public utilities that their market-based rate authorizations will be revoked unless they comply with the Commission’s requirements within 15 days of the date of issuance of this order. 3. In Order No. 2001, the Commission stated that, 5.

As noted above, Commission staff’s review of the Electric Quarterly Report submittals identified two public utilities with authority to sell power at marketbased rates that failed to file Electric Quarterly Reports through the third and fourth quarters of 2008. Commission staff contacted these entities to remind them of their regulatory obligations.5 None of the public utilities listed in the caption of this order has met those obligations.6 Accordingly, this order notifies these public utilities that their market-based rate authorizations will be revoked unless they comply with the Commission’s requirements within 15 days of the issuance of this order. 7. In the event that any of the abovecaptioned market-based rate sellers has already filed its Electric Quarterly Report in compliance with the Commission’s requirements, its inclusion herein is inadvertent. Such market-based rate seller is directed, within 15 days of the date of issuance of this order, to make a filing with the Commission identifying itself and providing details about its prior filings that establish that it complied with the Commission’s Electric Quarterly Report filing requirements. 8. If any of the above-captioned market-based rate sellers do not wish to continue having market-based rate authority, they may file a notice of cancellation with the Commission pursuant to section 205 of the FPA to cancel their market-based rate tariff. The Commission Orders: (A) Within 15 days of the date of issuance of this order, each public utility listed in the caption of this order shall file with the Commission all delinquent Electric Quarterly Reports. If a public utility fails to make this filing, the Commission will revoke that public utility’s authority to sell power at market-based rates and will terminate its electric market-based rate tariff. The Secretary is hereby directed, upon expiration of the filing deadline in this order, to promptly issue a notice, effective on the date of issuance, listing the public utilities whose tariffs have 4 See, e.g., Electric Quarterly Reports, 73 FR 31,460 (June 2, 2008); Electric Quarterly Reports, 115 FERC ¶ 61,073 (2006), Electric Quarterly Reports, 114 FERC ¶ 61,171 (2006). 5 See Celeren Corporation, Docket No. ER06– 1152–000 (December 19, 2008) (unpublished letter order); FC Energy Services Company, LLC, Docket No. ER07–1247–000 (December 19, 2008) (unpublished letter order). 6 According to the Commission’s records, the companies subject to this order last filed their Electric Quarterly Reports for the 2nd quarter of 2008.
