tribes, and other stakeholders to provide
comments to GRDA on its draft of the
amendment application mentioned
above before GRDA files it with the
Commission. The Commission’s
regulations at 4.38(a)(7) require GRDA
to provide resource agencies, Indian
tribes, and other stakeholders 60 days to
provide comments on the draft
amendment application. GRDA requests
Commission approval of a 30-day
comment period to expedite the
Commission’s review of any final

The Commission issued a public
notice of GRDA’s waiver request on
March 16, 2016 requesting comments,
motions to intervene, and protests by
March 31, 2016. The Modoc Tribe of
Oklahoma filed a protest and comments
on March 31, 2016. However, the protest
and comments are related to any final
amendment application GRDA may file
with the Commission. The protest and
comments did not address the waiver
request described in the Commission’s
public notice. No other protests or
comments were received. Since there
were no objections to GRDA’s waiver
request to reduce the comment period
from 60 to 30 days as described above,
the waiver is approved and comments
on GRDA’s draft amendment
application must be submitted to GRDA
within the requested 30-day period (due
by April 14, 2016).
Note that the Modoc Tribe’s concerns
and comments contained in its March
31, 2016 letter, have been filed with the
Commission and will be considered in
the Commission’s review of any final
amendment application GRDA files
with the Commission.
