    k. Description of Request: The licensee requests a modification of 
its previous March 25, 2015 request for temporary flow variance, which 
is currently pending before the Commission. Specifically, the licensee 
requests an expanded temporary flow variance at the South Fork American 
River below Kyburz location, such that flows are reduced: from required 
60 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 45 cfs from May 1-15; from the 
required 60 cfs to 30 cfs from May 16-31; from the required 60 cfs to 
18 cfs in June; from the required 40 cfs to 15 cfs in July; and from 
the required 18 cfs to 15 cfs in August.
    The licensee states that the revised request is in response to 
worsening drought conditions in the project area, including record low 
snowpack and accelerated spring runoff that has occurred this year. The 
licensee also states that it maintains its previous request for 
temporary flow variances in Caples Creek, Echo Creek, Silver Fork 
American River and Pyramid Creek.
    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) 502-8371. This filing may also be viewed

requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211,
