    k. Description of Amendment: Grant County Public Utility District 
No. 2 (licensee) requests authorization to install a spillway deflector 
at the Wanapum Development for the passage of downstream migrant fishes 
at Wanapum Dam. The deflector will be constructed at Wanapum Dam 
Spillway 12 for the further development of a device to reduce the level 
of dissolved gases in the spilled water. A prototype spillway deflector 
was installed in spillway bay 2 in the spring of 1996. Based on the 
data collected in 1996, the prototype spillway deflector produced total 
dissolved gas levels of saturation lower than water passing through 
spill bays not equipped with the prototype deflector. This second 
prototype deflector will consist of a triangular concrete section which 
is located 32 feet below the crest of the spillway. The deflector's 
horizontal surface will be approximately 12 feet and will run the full 
width of the spillway slot, approximately 50 feet.
    1. This notice also consists of the following standard paragraphs: 
B, C1, and D2.
    B. Comments, Protests, or Motions to Intervene--Anyone may submit 
comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211, 
.214. In determining the appropriate action to take, the Commission 
will consider all protests or other comments filed, but only those who 
file a motion to intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules 
may become a party to the proceeding. Any comments, protests, or 
motions to intervene must be received on or before the specified 
comment date for the particular application.
