r. Waiver of Pre-filing Consultation: In 

a letter dated April 1, 2010, the 

applicant requested the agencies’ 

support to waive the Commission’s 

consultation requirements under 18 CFR 

4.38(c). On June 4, 2010, the U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service (FWS) 

recommended that a habitat assessment 

be completed to assess the potential for 

federally listed species to occur within 

the project area. In response, the 

applicant provided a report stating that 

the proposed construction will have no 

impact to federally listed species. No 

other comments 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.
