[Docket No. EL15-91-000; Docket No. QF15-885-001]


Greycliff Wind Prime, LLC; Greycliff Wind Prime, LLC; Notice of 
Petition for Declaratory Order

    Take notice that on August 17, 2015, pursuant to section 210(h) of 
the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA), 16 U.S.C. 
824a-3(h)(2006) and Rule 207(a)(2) of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's (Commission) Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 
385.207(a)(2), Greycliff Wind Prime, LLC (Greycliff or Petitioner) 
filed a petition for declaratory order requesting that the Commission 
take enforcement action under section 210(h) of PURPA against the 
Montana Public Service Commission (MPSC) for its continued reliance on 
A.R.M. 38.5.1902(5) (Montana Rule), or in the alternative, Greycliff 
seeks a declaratory order finding that the MPSC's continued reliance on 
the Montana Rule, and MPSC decisions interpreting the Montana Rule, 
fail to implement PURPA and the Commission's regulations thereunder, 
alleging that the Montana Rule eliminates the rights of qualifying 
facilities to create a legally enforceable obligation and to choose how 
to sell their energy capacity, as more fully explained in the petition.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must 
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Protests will be 
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to 
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of 
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, 
motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. 
Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of 
that document on the Petitioner.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and 
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an 
original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 
20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's 
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription'' 
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive email
