    All documents may be filed electronically via the Internet. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web

Commission strongly encourages electronic filing, documents may also be

Washington, DC 20426. Please include the project number (P-5596-018) on

    k. Description of Request: The licensee is requesting to 
permanently modify the minimum flow required to be released at Bedford 
Dam under Article 34 from 400 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 150 cfs. 
The Commission previously approved a request to amend Article 34 on 
July 14, 2009. That amendment permits the licensee to reduce the 
minimum flow at the bypass reach from 400 cfs to 200 cfs if the flow of 
the James River at the project is between 800 and 1,000 cfs for five 
consecutive days. The licensee states that the proposed permanent 
modification could generate an additional 2,500 megawatt hours of 
energy annually, approximately. Pursuant to Article 34, the licensee 
has obtained concurrence from the Virginia Department of Game and 
Inland Fisheries for the proposal.
    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

list should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission.

comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211,
