will then send it to the Forest Service, State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB),
United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and California Department of Fish and
Wildlife (CDFW: collectively Agencies). Pursuant to the Poe Bypass Reach Fish and

respectfully requests until June 30 , 2024, to submit the Report to FERC. PG&E submitted

Hello Agencies,
This email presents an extension of time request to provide the 2023 Fish and Benthic
Macroinvertebrate (BMI) Report to the Forest Service, State Water Resources Control Board, United
States Fish and Wildlife Service, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (Agencies). To
process BMI samples, PG&E contracts the Chico State Biolab (lab). Due to circumstances within the

write the report and PG&E will need time to review it. PG&E respectfully requests until May 15, 2024
to submit the report to the Agencies.
The Poe Bypass Reach Fish and BMI Plan requires PG&E to allow the Agencies at least 30 days to
