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.
