Floyd E. Domi.vy, Com mi** toner. Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Dtjtarimcnt of the Interior, Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. us a copy of eration and Sale of Power in Accordance With the Boulder Canyon Project Adjustment Act." You asked for our comments thereon. "iou also enclosed a copy of "General Principles to Govern, and Operating Criteria for Glen Canyon Reservoir (Lake Powell) and Lake Mead During the Lake Powell Filling Period." Comments to the latter, the filling criteria, have been previously submitted to you through correspondence, the last being in our letter of January 2, 1962, addressed to the Honorable Stewart L. Udall, Secretary of the Interior. Relative to the consideration of additional regulation No. 1 to the "General Regulations," our only comment is in questioning the necessity and or practicability of the consideration of this proposed regulation at this time since it does not become effective until June 1, 1987. It would seem to us that this is a matter that may well be given further consideration with an understanding and agreement reached thereon some few years from now since 1987 is not in this particular instance a pressing date. Ver}' truly yours, A. J. Shaver, Chief Engineer. The Metropolitan- Water District of Southern California. Los Angeles, Calif., May S, 1062. Floyd E. Dominy, Commissioner of Reclamation, U.S. Department oj tht Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Washington, D.C.

This district's comments on the proposed additional regulation No. 1 transmitted to this office with your letter of April 4, 1962, are being withheld pending study of your alternate proposal. When a. conclusion is reached you will be promptly advised.
