No current information is available. <br />In the status report the Rabbit Ear and Troublesome units were <br />treated as separate projects. However, since they are in the same <br />immediate area, it is our opinion that they should be consolidated <br />into a single project and we have accordingly done so. It was our <br />original intention to include the Parshall unit within the frame- <br />work of the Middle Park Project. After further analysis and con- <br />sideration, however, we have eliminated the Parshall unit from our <br />
