    On May 17, 2013, the Commission issued a Draft Environmental Impact 
Statement (draft EIS) for the Toledo Bend Hydroelectric Project No 
2105-036 (Toledo Bend Project). The draft EIS documents the views of 
governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, affected Indian 
tribes, the public, the license applicants, and Commission staff. All 
written comments must be filed by August 5, 2013, and should reference 
Project No. 2105-036. More information on filing comments can be found 
in the letter at the front of the draft EIS or on the Commission's Web 
site at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. Although the 
Commission strongly encourages electronic filing, documents may also be 
paper-filed.
    In addition to or in lieu of sending written comments, you are 
invited to attend public meetings that will be held to receive comments 
on the draft EIS. The daytime meeting will focus on resource agency, 
Indian tribes, and non-governmental organization comments, while the
