The electron-temperature-sensitive emission-line ratio I(2s2 2p2 1D - 2s2 2p2 1S)/I(2s2 2p2 3P1,2 - 2s2 2p2 1D) = I(4363 A)/I(4959 + 5007 A) has been determined based upon relative level populations for O III obtained using impact excitation rates calculated with the R-matrix code. Results are presented for a temperature range which is applicable to planetary nebulae. Electron temperatures derived from the observed R values of several planetary nebulae agree well with those determined from electron-temperature-sensitive line ratios is such other species as (semiforbidden C III)/C II, forbidden N II, and forbidden Ar II.
