amendment request for its license to change the project's transmission 
line route. SAF says it no longer plans to construct the 1,030-foot-

consisting of a 75-foot buried line originating at the project's 
control building and connecting to an existing power pole located in 
the Corp's service yard. From there, the line would extend to the

with pole ``extenders'' attaching three new lines on top of the poles. 
SAF is not proposing any changes to the project operation.
