On July 23, 2010, the Trinity River Authority concurred with this request. Several State and Federal resource agencies commented on the application but no other comments regarding the request for waiver were received. Therefore, we intend to accept the consultation that has occurred on this project during the pre-filing period and we intend to waive pre-filing consultation under section 4.38(c), which requires, among other things, conducting studies requested by resource agencies, and distributing and consulting on a draft exemption application.                

Dated: March 2, 2011.

Secretary.
