    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: 
David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 
First Street, NW., Washington, DC 20426. Comments and protests may be 
filed electronically via the internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR

    Please include the Project Number (1388-032) on any comments, 
protests, or motions filed.
    k. Description of Amendment: SCE filed an application to reflect 
changes in transmission line and related facilities. SCE proposes to 
remove the 6.4-mile transmission line (located within 30.02 acres of 
federal lands), extending from the Poole powerhouse to the Lee Vining 
Substation from the project boundary, because they are part of SCE's 
interconnected system. In addition, SCE proposes to reduce the boundary 
line to remove the following features (located within 88.00 acres of 
federal lands) from the project: (1) A state highway around Rhinedollar 
Lake, (2) telephone line, (3) the Rhinedollar 12-kV distribution line. 
SCE also proposes to add about 0.46 acres of federal lands to the 
project boundary due to the addition of a gaging station and associated 
conduit downstream of the powerhouse.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington,
