o. We notice that we intend to waive scoping and shorten the filing
and comment date on final terms and conditions, recommendations, and
prescriptions. Based on a review of the application, resource agency
consultation letters, and comments filed to date, Commission staff
intends to prepare a single environmental assessment (EA). Commission
staff determined that the issues that need to be addressed in its EA
have been adequately identified during the pre-filing period for the
application, which included a public meeting and site visit, and no new
issues are likely to be identified through additional scoping.

days from the issuance of this notice. All reply comments must be filed
with the Commission within 60 days from the date of this notice.
