may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they 
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    k. Description of Request: SCE requests to amend the project 
license as follows: (1) Replace the existing final U.S. Forest Service 
Section 4(e) Condition 6(f) with the amended final Section 4(e) 
Condition 6(f) filed with the Commission by the U.S. Forest Service on 
March 3, 2015; and (2) revise Article 422 so that the language is 
consistent with the amended final Section 4(e) Condition 6(f). The 
proposed changes are administrative and necessary to resolve 
inconsistencies between U.S. Forest Service 4(e) Condition 6(f), 
license Article 422, and language contained in a 2002 settlement 
agreement regarding whitewater flows below the Fairview Dam. The filing 
includes background information providing context, a description of the 
proposed amendment, reasons the amendment is necessary, and
