conditions in the agreement. Members of the Committee are limited to

require public participation in Committee matters.\5\ Since the

is dismissed.

    \5\ However, any material changes in project operations during 
the term of the license will require a license amendment 
application, public notice, and a proceeding in which interested 
entities will have an opportunity to participate.
