City of Tacoma, Washington; Notice of Teleconference on Fish and 
Wildlife Issues in the Southern Lower North Fork Region

January 29, 1999.
    On July 30, 1998, the Commission issued an order (84 FERC para. 
61,107) relicensing the Cushman Hydroelectric Project No. 460, located 
on the North Fork Skokomish River in Mason County, Washington. The FERC 
staff, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries 
Service, and Washington Department of Ecology will conduct a 
teleconference at 1:00 pm EDT, on February 16, 1999, to discuss with 
federal and state fish and wildlife agencies the wildlife measures 
proposed for the Southern Lower North Fork area of the Cushman Project. 
The agencies made a section 10(j) recommendation to acquire about 2000 
acres of land in the area. The purpose of the conference is to explore 
alternatives that could adequately address the agencies' and the 
Commission's concerns regarding this measure.
    Interested parties that want to observe the meeting may do so by 
calling [phone] and informing the FERC operator that they want 
to be part of the Cushman Project conference call. We will start 
accepting conference calls at 12:45 pm EDT for the 1:00 pm EDT meeting. 
If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact John 
McEachern at [phone] or e-mail [e-mail].
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
