provided for in Sec. 5.26, and any preliminary mandatory terms and 
conditions and fishway prescriptions.
    (c) Comments on an environmental assessment issued pursuant to 
paragraph (a) of this section, including comments in response to the

agency recommendations and on preliminary mandatory terms and conditions 
or fishway prescriptions, must be filed no later than 30 or 45 days 
after issuance of the environmental assessment, as specified in the 
notice accompanying issuance of the environmental assessment, as should

    (d) Modified mandatory prescriptions or terms and conditions must be 
filed no later than 60 days following the date for filing of comments 
provided for in paragraph (c) of this section, as specified in the
