First Street, NE., Washington DC 20426.
    Please include the project number (P-2174-010) on any comments or

    k. Description of Request: SCE is proposing to delete from the 
license the 7.58-mile-long, 33-kV Big Creek #1--Portal transmission 
line, which SCE says is part of its interconnected transmission system.

lands within the project boundary is 126.6 acres.
