Nevada <br />now receives 17.6259 percent of <br />Hoover power. A 134-page legal <br />memorandum was prepared by the <br />Nevada Attorney General's office and <br />its Washington, D.C. counsel in <br />support of the claim. Arizona, which <br />also currently has a right to the same <br />percentage of Hoover power as <br />Nevada, stated in a letter to Western <br /> <br />Colorado River South of Parker <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />that it too was entitled to one-third of <br />the Hoover power if Nevada is <br />entitled to that amount. California <br />contended that its right of renewal is <br />contained in the contracts and the <br />statute and that the California <br />agencies are entitled to renew their <br />64.7482 percent of Hoover capacity <br />and energy. <br /> <br />Fish and Wildlife Coordination <br />Act-Proposed Regulations <br /> <br />The Board's 1979 Annual Report <br />described proposed rules for <br />administering the 1958 Fish and <br />Wildlife Coordination Act which were <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />published in the Federal Register by <br />the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. As <br />a result of the comments of the Board <br />and agencies in the other western <br />states, the Fish and Wildlife Service <br />..dvised the public that the proposed <br />rlhs were beirc redrafted in res~ <br />to comments and that an <br />environmental impact statement on <br />the proposed rules would be <br />prepared, including various alternative <br />methods of complying with the 1958 <br />Act. <br />On December 18, 1980, the Fish <br />and Wildlife Service released new <br />proposed regulations in a Draft <br /> <br /> <br />I'~:~: '; <br />" .... <br />" "'" <br /> <br />.',-, <br />.....". ) <br />" ".:;,'J. <br />,,':' .
