1Amendment to Kaweah Project provision
This section would amend the first section of Public Law 99-338, as it was previously amended by Public Law 108-447, which addresses permits for the Kaweah Project. It would replace the phrase "3 renewals" with "7 renewals" in that provision, increasing from 3 to 7 the number of times the permit covered by that provision may be renewed. It would also delete the phrase "of Southern California Edison Company" from that provision, removing that company-specific reference from the law.
