[[Page 33481]]

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426.
    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of 
that document on each person whose name appears on the official service 
list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or 
documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that 
may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they 
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    k. Description of the Application: Article 401 of Grand River Dam 
Authority's (GRDA) license for the Pensacola Project requires GRDA to 
lower Grand Lake to elevation 741 feet Pensacola Datum (PD) from 
September 1 through October 15 yearly. Lowering the lake supports the 
project's millet seeding program designed to enhance fish and wildlife.
    GRDA filed an application June 2, 1999, for a temporary variance so 
GRDA would not have to lower Grand Lake to elevation 741 feet PD from 
September 1 through October 15, 1999. Instead, GRDA would keep the lake 
at elevation 742 feet PD during this time. GRDA says it is not 
necessary to lower Grand Lake to 741 feet PD this year because it 
intends to seed millet at elevation 742 feet or above. The temporary 
variance it seeks would only apply September 1 through October 15, 
1999.
    l. Locations of the application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE, Room 2A, Washington, 
DC 20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371. The application may be viewed 
on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call (202) 208-
2222 for assistance).
    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, 
385.211, 385.214. 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.
    Filing and Service of Responsive Documents--Any filings must bear 
in all capital letters the title ``COMMENTS'', ``RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 
TERMS AND CONDITIONS'', ``PROTESTS'', OR ``MOTION TO INTERVENE'', as 
applicable, and the Project Number of the particular application to 
which the filing refers. Any of the above-named documents must be filed 
by providing the original and the number of copies provided by the 
Commission's regulations to: The Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426. A copy of any 
motion to intervene must also be served upon each representative of the 
Applicant specified in the particular application.
    Agency Comments--Federal, State, and local agencies are invited to 
file comments on the described application. A copy of the application 
may be obtained by agencies directly from the Applicant. If an agency
