the Commission (August 5, 2015). The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filing. Please file motions to intervene, protests,

    k. Description of Request: The licensee requests a temporary 
variance of the minimum flow requirements in the West Branch Feather 
River below Hendricks Head Dam (gage BW40) and in Butte Creek below 
Butte Head Dam (gage BW98). The licensee requests that the 
instantaneous dry year minimum flow requirement of 7 cubic feet per 
second (cfs) at both locations be temporarily modified to a 7 cfs, 48-
hour average minimum flow. The licensee states that the temporary 
variance would eliminate the need to release additional buffer flows of 
4 to 5 cfs and instead, allocate those flows to the lower reaches of 
Butte Creek, where spring-run Chinook salmon are currently holding. The 
licensee requests the variance until the natural resource agencies 
determine that it is no longer necessary to support the spring-run 
Chinook salmon.
    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,
