The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all

that document on each person whose name appears on the official service

k. Description of Request: The licensee proposes to remove from the
project boundary two 7.6-mile-long, 69-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines
which no longer qualify as primary transmission lines. These lines,
referred to as the A-2 and B-2, formerly connected the Leaburg
Substation with the Walterville Substation and then to load centers and
the interconnected transmission system at the Hayden Bridge Substation.
The A-2 and B-2 transmission lines have been taken out of service and
the licensee is removing them. The licensee installed a new 11.5-kV
generation feed line between the Leaburg power plant and the new Holden
Creek Substation in the easternmost 0.43 mile of the right-of-way
previously occupied by the two 69-kV transmission lines. The Leaburg
plant's power generation is now delivered to the interconnected
transmission system at the Holden Creek Substation, which is connected
to
[[Page 63768]]
the Bonneville Power Administration. The proposed amendment would
reduce the project transmission line right-of-way by 117.08 acres; from
180.86 to 63.78 acres.
