    k. Description of the Application: After receiving Forest Service 
approval on July 18, 2012, PG&E filed a shoreline management plan (SMP) 
for Pinecrest Lake pursuant to a mandatory requirement of the Forest 
Service's section 4(e) condition No. 29, which was included as part of 
the license for the Spring Gap-Stanislaus Hydroelectric Project. The 
Forest Service, which owns and manages all of the shoreline lands at 
Pinecrest Lake as part of the Stanislaus National Forest, required the 
SMP as a sub-plan under condition No. 29 (Recreation Facilities and 
Administration) to manage the reservoir shoreline at Pinecrest Lake and 
to address privately owned boat docks and mooring balls, and include 
zoning of

certain sections of shoreline for swimming, fishing, and shoreline boat 
access.
    Since all of the shoreline at Pinecrest Lake is owned and managed 
by the Forest Service, the Commission has no authority to dictate how 
the SMP is to be implemented. As such, the Commission views PG&E's 
filing as informational and will not take action on it. Any comments on 
the SMP should be directed to the Forest Service.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington,
