that document on each person whose name appears on the official service 
list for the project. Further, if an intervenor 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.
    k. Description of Request: Pacific Gas and Electric Company 
(licensee) filed a revised recreation plan proposing to delete a new 
fishing access area on the Cross Country Canal required under the 
project's current recreation plan. While beginning construction of the 
new site, the licensee discovered historical artifacts and immediately 
stopped work. After further assessment, it has been determined that 
construction of the new fishing access site cannot proceed without 
impacting cultural resources. After finding no suitable alternatives 
for the new site and given the current low recreation use of existing 
informal canal fishing access sites in the area, the licensee proposes 
to remove the required new site from the project's recreation plan. The 
proposed revised recreation plan reflects the deletion of this fishing 
access site, as well as the deletion of extraneous or outdated 
information. All other aspects of the current recreation plan would 
remain the same.
    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, DC
