incorporate complete results from the required studies and consultation
with stakeholders in its preliminary licensing proposal or draft
license application. In addition, GRDA proposes that the deadlines
required under its current license to file an updated Shoreline
Management Plan and revised Exhibit G drawings be extended to coincide
with the filing of the final application for a new license.
