    k. Description of Request: Article 434 requires Avista Corporation 
(licensee) to file a plan, with the Commission, to conduct seasonal, 
site-specific monitoring of bank profiles in the lower Clark Fork 
River. The licensee indicated that prior to relicensing of the project, 
it initiated easement discussions with the individual landowners. As of 
December 2001, the licensee indicated, it acquired 69 out of a possible 
87 easements. The licensee stated that the erosion issues of the 
landowners group have been adequately addressed and, therefore, 
requested that license article 434 be deleted. The Clark Fork 
Management Committee, which is comprised of one representative from 
each of the 27 parties (the licensee, state and federal resource 
agencies, Native American tribes and non-governmental organizations) to 
the licensing Settlement Agreement, concurred that article 434 was no 
longer necessary and should be deleted.
    l. A copy of the application is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link.
