Program; [email protected]; (208) 388-2964.

[email protected].
    j. Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, and 
protests: March 8, 2015.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file 
motions to intervene, protests, comments, or recommendations using the 
Commission's eFiling system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. Commenters can submit brief comments up to 6,000 
characters, without prior registration, using the eComment system at 
http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ecomment.asp. You must include your 
name and contact information at the end of your comments. For 
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at 
[email protected], (866) 208-3676 (toll free), or (202) 502-
8659 (TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, please send a paper copy to: 
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The first page of any filing should include 
docket number P-2777-123.
    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of 
that document on each person whose name appears on the official service 
list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or 
documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that 
may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they 
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    k. Description of Request: Idaho Power Company (IPC) filed a five-
year compliance report for the project's approved land management plan 
as well as proposed updates to the existing plan. Updates include new 
land-use classification maps based off previously approved changes and 
modifications to the use classification of private boat docks on 
conservation and agriculture/grazing land. IPC proposes to change the 
classification of private boat docks to ``conditional'' in both 
conservation and agriculture/grazing land-use areas, which are 
currently listed as allowed and prohibited, respectively. To remain 
consistent across projects, IPC proposes the modification due to 
changes in land ownership and land use patterns from open-range grazing 
to private/rural-residential uses in the project area, as well as at 
this and several other IPC projects. IPC states that by listing private 
boat docks as conditional it would review all applications to ensure 
the proposal does not have adverse resource effects. Additionally, all 
dock applications would be required to meet the IPC's existing boat 
dock standards and applicants would be required to obtain the required 
state and federal permits and consult with specified resource agencies.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington, 
DC 20426, or by calling (202) 502-8371. This filing may also be viewed
