SUMMARY: The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), under the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, is announcing the opportunity to 
provide additional comments on the water quality analysis portion of 
the Draft EIS. The original 60-day comment period for the Draft EIS was

section addressing water quality analysis. In order to address these 
comments, an additional water quality analysis is being prepared for 
the Draft EIS. This analysis will augment and reinforce the existing 
analysis for the Draft EIS. Reclamation will continue to receive 
comments on the existing water quality portion of the Draft EIS while 
the additional analysis is performed.

DATES: Comments on the existing water quality analysis featured in the 
DEIS will be received until provided by future notice. When completed 
the additional analysis will be made available for public review and 
comment during a 45-day period. The availability of the additional 
analysis and the corresponding 45-day comment period will be announced 
in the Federal Register on a future date in 2008.
