The provisions of 25-8-202; 204; and 402 C.R.S. provide the specific statutory authority for adoption of these regulatory amendments. The Commission also adopted in compliance with 24-4-103(4), C.R.S., the following statement of basis and purpose.
BASIS AND PURPOSE:
he Commission adopted temporary modifications for Segments 12 and 13 as a result of its May 1990 hearing on the Gunnison and Lower Dolores River Basins. These temporary modifications are scheduled to expire July 1, 1993. A hearing for the Gunnison and Lower Dolores River Basins has been scheduled by the Commission for December 5, 1994. The Commission extended the expiration date of the temporary modifications to December 31, 1994, so that the Commission will have an opportunity to hear evidence as to whether these temporary modifications continue to be necessary.
