cubic feet per second. The licensee also proposes to: modify the 
diversion structure and install screens; increase the penstock size 
from 24 to 30 inches in diameter; and change the transmission line 
route. Additionally, the licensee proposes to modify the instream 
minimum flow requirements pursuant to Article 103.\1\

a section 4(e) license condition stipulated by the U.S. Forest 
Service.
