    g. Filed Pursuant to: Federal Power Act, 18 CFR Sec.Sec. 
4.38(a)(4)(v).

    k. Description of Request: The Alabama Power Company is requesting 
an extension of the temporary variance to the Neely Henry Dam rule 
curve approved in the Commission's February 26, 2001 Order. The revised 
rule curve allows Alabama Power to keep the reservoir elevation at 507 
feet mean sea level (msl) from December 1 through March 1, two feet 
higher than allowed in Article 50 of the license. The February 26, 2001 
Order allowed Alabama Power to operate under this revised rule curve 
for a trial period of three years, which will expire February 26, 2004. 
Alabama Power plans to include this revised rule curve in its 
application for a new license, and is seeking to extend the trial 
period, until the Commission issues a decision on their relicense 
application. The current license expires on July 31, 2007.
    l. Locations of Applications: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE., Room 2A,
