Pacific Gas and Electric Company; Notice Soliciting Applications

    On April 6, 2017, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), licensee 
for the Potter Valley Project No. 77, filed a pre-application document 
(PAD) and notice of its intent (NOI) to file an application for a new 
license for the 9.4-megawatt project pursuant to section 15(b)(1) of 
the Federal Power Act (FPA). On January 25, 2019, PG&E filed notice of 
the withdrawal of its NOI and PAD, indicating it is no longer seeking a 
new license for the project.
    The project is located on the Eel and East Fork Russian Rivers in 
Lake and Mendocino Counties, California, about 15 miles northeast of 
the city of Ukiah. Project features include Lake Pillsbury, a 2,300-
acre storage reservoir impounded by Scott Dam; 106-acre Van Arsdale 
Reservoir, impounded by the Cape Horn Diversion Dam; and a tunnel and 
penstock across a natural divide to the project's powerhouse located in 
the headwaters of the Russian River Basin. PG&E estimates the average 
annual generation of the project to be 19,900 megawatt-hours.
    Pursuant to Rule 216(b) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure,\1\ a withdrawal of a pleading is effective at the end of 15 
days from the date of filing the notice of withdrawal. No motion in 
opposition to the notice of withdrawal has been filed, and the 
Commission has taken no action to disallow the withdrawal; thus, the 
withdrawal became effective on February 11, 2019.\2\
