The purpose of this request for an
increase in contract amount is to increase funds for legal
consultation for reaching an agreement with the federal fisheries
agencies regarding the reissued license dated April, 2000. The
negotiation process is extending beyond the time earlier
anticipated and therefore additional funding is necessary. Also,
the increase is to provide greater legal assistance due to Gail

Regulatory Commission (FERC) matters. Contact person is Gale
Banry. Contract amount is $30,000.
