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

k. Description of Request: The exemptee is seeking a permanent
amendment, or in the alternative a temporary amendment for 2019 while
the Commission reviews the permanent amendment request. This notice
only seeks comments, motions to intervene, and protests on a temporary
variance from the authorized target elevation, for the period from May
15 through November 15, 2019, which is consistent with the time period
for the previously granted temporary variances.
The exemptee requests authorization to operate the project at a
target elevation of 802.9 feet mean sea level (msl) during the ``ice-
free period,'' while continuing to operate the project within the
authorized elevation range of 801.83 feet msl and 803.17 feet msl. The
exemptee defines the ``ice-free period'' as between May 15 and
September 15. The exemptee would continue to operate at the current
authorized target elevation of 802.5 feet msl and within the authorized
elevation range of 801.83 feet msl and 803.17 feet msl at all other
times of the year. The exemptee states the amendment is necessary to
address recreation and possible public safety concerns when operating
the project at the authorized target elevation.

available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC
