free), or (202) 502-8659 (TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, you may
submit a paper copy. Submissions sent via the U.S. Postal Service must

Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.
Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to: Kimberly

Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852. The first page of any filing should

staff are not considered part of the Commission record.
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, it
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
k. Description of Request: Idaho Power Company (licensee) proposes
to refurbish the three turbine generating units sequentially over the
course of approximately three years. Under its proposed schedule to
perform the maintenance work, the licensee would take turbine
generating unit 1 offline in October 2022. Anticipating that the
maintenance work for each turbine generating unit would take
approximately one year to complete, the licensee plans to take turbine
generating units 2 and 3 offline for refurbishment in October 2023 and
October 2024, respectively. All proposed activity would occur in the
powerhouse, with no ground disturbing activity or in water work
necessary. A single turbine generating unit would be offline
[[Page 35540]]
periodically during the refurbishment period. Therefore, the proposal
may result in an increased flow over the spillway while the work is
being done, depending on whether the inflow to the project exceeds the
hydraulic capacity of the two online units. Under the proposal, the
total authorized capacity of the project would remain at 90,000
horsepower (67,500 kilowatts) as defined by current section 11.1 of the
Commission's regulations, and the hydraulic capacity would increase
from 13,704 to 14,115 cubic feet per second.
