Dear Mr. Kaneshiro:

Thank you for including the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in the environmental review process for the project referenced above. The project consists of the proposed sale of 12 electric generation facilities. These facilities are currently under single ownership and would be offered for sale at auction.

[Begin DOT-1]
Based on the information received we have no comment at this time. However, we do believe that new projects resulting from the sale of these assets should be submitted for environmental review.
[End DOT-1]

If you have any questions regarding this response please reference IGR/CEQA #970907, and call me at (213) 897-4429 or Cheryl Powell IGR/CEQA Coordinator for the project at (213) 897-3747.

Sincerely,

/s/
