    a. Types of Applications: Application for Amendment and Partial 
Transfer of License; Application for Surrender of License.
    b. Project Nos.: 2082-062 and 14803-000 (amendment and transfer

    c. Date Filed: September 23, 2016.
    d. Applicants: For license amendment and transfer: PacifiCorp 
(transferor) and Klamath River Renewal Corporation (transferee).
    For license surrender: Klamath River Renewal Corporation.
    e. Name of Projects: Klamath Project (P-2082).
    Lower Klamath Project (P-14803).
    f. Locations: Klamath Project--on the Klamath River in Klamath 
County, Oregon, and on the Klamath River and Fall Creek in Siskiyou 
County, California. The project includes about 477 acres of federal 
lands administered by the Bureau of Reclamation and the Bureau of Land 
Management.
    Lower Klamath Project--on the Klamath River in Klamath County, 
Oregon, and Siskiyou County, California. The project would include 
about 395 acres of federal lands administered by the Bureau of Land 
Management.
    g. Filed Pursuant to: Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 791a-825r.
    h. Applicants Contact: Sarah Kamman, Vice President and General 
Counsel, PacifiCorp, 825 NE Multnomah Street, Suite 2000, Portland, OR 
97232, (503) 813-5865, sarah [email protected].

Washington Street, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94111, (415) 820-4441, 
[email protected].
    i. FERC Contacts: Amendment and Transfer: Steve Hocking, (202) 502-
8753, [email protected].
    Surrender: John Mudre: (202) 502-8902, [email protected].
    j. Description of Amendment and Transfer Request: The applicants 
request that the Commission transfer the J.C. Boyle, Copco No. 1, Copco 
No. 2, and Iron Gate developments of the existing Klamath Project No. 
2082 from PacifiCorp to the Klamath River Renewal Corporation (Renewal 
Corporation) and create a new project, the Lower Klamath Project, for 
the transferred developments with the Renewal Corporation as the sole 
licensee. PacifiCorp requests that the license for Project No. 2082 be 
amended to delete references to the four transferred developments. The 
applicants state that they will make a supplemental filing on or before 
March 1, 2017, demonstrating the legal, technical, and financial 
capabilities of the Renewal Corporation to perform its responsibilities 
as transferee. Applicants further request that the Commission act on 
the amendment and transfer application by December 31, 2017, and allow 
the Renewal Corporation six months from the issuance date of the order 
approving transfer to submit proof of its acceptance of license 
transfer.
    k. Description of Surrender Request: The Renewal Corporation's 
request to surrender and decommission the Lower Klamath Project, 
including removal of the project dams is contingent upon a Commission 
order amending PacifiCorp's existing Klamath Project (P-2082) license 
to create a new project, the Lower Klamath Project, and transferring 
the Lower Klamath Project to the Renewal Corporation, as described in 
item (j), above. The Lower Klamath Project, as envisioned by the 
Renewal Corporation, would consist of the J.C. Boyle, Copco No. 1, 
Copco No. 2, and Iron Gate developments of the existing Klamath Project 
No. 2082, and the Renewal Corporation would be the sole licensee. The 
Renewal Corporation requests that the Commission not act on this 
request until it is ready to accept license transfer and states that it 
will file, by December 31, 2017, its decommissioning plan to serve as 
the basis for Commission staff's environmental and engineering review 
of the surrender application. Because only a licensee may file to 
surrender a license and the Commission does not accept contingent 
applications, the surrender application is deemed to be filed by both 
PacifiCorp and the Renewal Corporation. See 18 CFR 6.1 and 4.32(j). 
Therefore, while action on the amendment and transfer application is 
pending, the Commission will maintain both applications in the dockets 
for both project numbers. If the Commission approves the transfer and 
the Renewal Corporation accepts the license, following which the 
Renewal Corporation would become the sole licensee, the surrender 
proceeding would continue solely in Project No. 14803.
    l. With this notice, we are initiating informal consultation with: 
(a) the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA Fisheries under section 
7 of the Endangered Species Act and the joint agency implementing 
regulations at 50 CFR part 402; (b) NOAA Fisheries under section 305(b) 
of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and 
implementing regulations at 50 CFR 600.920; and (c) the California and 
Oregon State Historic Preservation Officers, as required by section 106 
of the National Historic Preservation Act, and the implementing 
regulations of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation at 36 CFR 
part 800.
    m. With this notice, we are designating PacifiCorp and the Renewal

surrender, the Commission will issue notices requesting comments,
