Cooperative, National Marine Fisheries Service, U.S. Department of the 
Interior, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington Department of Fish

motion for late intervention in this proceeding. On April 19, 2004, 
Puget filed an answer in opposition to the motion.
    3. Granting the motions to intervene will not unduly delay or

intervene filed in this amendment proceeding are granted, and the 
motion for late intervention filed by Skagit County is granted, subject 
to the Commission's rules and regulations.
