Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
interveners filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of 
that document on each person whose name appears on the official service 
list for the project. Further, if an intervener files comments or 
documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that 
may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they 
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency. A copy 
of any motion to intervene must also be served upon each representative 
of the Applicant specified in the particular application.
    k. Description of Request: Tacoma Power proposes to amend the 
project's approved recreation plan by deleting a requirement to 
lengthen an existing boat dock at the Mossyrock Park Boat Launch. 
Instead the licensee proposes to build a new loading dock that is 
designed to be used during low reservoir levels at the Taidnapam North 
Boat launch, which was completed in 2008 pursuant to the approved 
recreation plan. The licensee states that the new configuration will 
better serve the boating public while eliminating the environmental and 
aesthetic impacts associated with extending the existing dock at 
Mossyrock Park. In developing the application, the licensee consulted 
with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, 
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Washington State Parks and 
Recreation Commission, Washington Recreation and Conservation Office, 
and Lewis County, Washington.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is
