    j. Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, protests, 
and recommendations is May 29, 2015 (30 days from April 29, 2015). This 
corrects the earlier parenthetical deadline, which incorrectly stated

Please file motions to intervene, protests, comments, or 
recommendations using the Commission's eFiling system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. Commenters can submit brief

    k. Description of Request: The licensee requests Commission 
approval of a temporary variance of the minimum and pulse flow 
requirements at the project Upper Lakes under the requirements of the 
project license and Condition No. 7 of the U.S. Forest Service's (FS) 
section 4(e) Conditions. Specifically, the license requests that the 5 
cubic feet per second (cfs) minimum flow requirement be reduced to 2 
cfs below Lower Blue and Meadow Lakes from May 1, 2015 through the June 
30, 2015. The licensee also requests Commission approval to forego the 
5-day, 20 cfs pulse flow requirement in 2015 at Upper Blue, Lower Blue, 
and Meadow Lakes. The licensee states that

[[Page 26248]]

the temporary variance is necessary to conserve water in order to 
ensure minimum flow releases through the fall and to maintain an 
adequate level to recreation opportunities at the Upper Lakes this 
summer.
    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,

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

application. If an intervener 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

filings in reference to this application must be accompanied by proof
