    j. Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, and protests

pursuant to Article 401 of the project license and U.S. Fish and 
Wildlife and Service Fishway Prescription Nos. a(ii), b(ii), a(iii), 
and b(vii) contained in Appendix A of the license. Both proposals only

Proposed Design Plans for American Eel Passage provides a draft design 
for eel passage, but proposes to suspend passage until after the eel 
migration studies provide data to inform the design and siting of the 
eel passage measure. The American Eel Migration Study Plan provides a 
plan to evaluate eel abundance at various locations, inform design of 
eel passage facilities, and evaluate effectiveness of the facilities 
for up to 3 years.
