the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they must also

    k. Description of Request: The Alabama Power Company (licensee) 
requests Commission approval for an amendment to its current license to 
replace the existing automatic spillway crest gates with Obermeyer 
gates at the project's Thurlow Dam and install a trash boom. The 
licensee states the proposed work is to eliminate safety hazards to 
personnel and more effectively manage reservoir levels and spill during 
flood events.
    In order to install the Obermeyer gates and trash boom, the 
licensee also requests a temporary variance from the normal reservoir 
elevations for the Thurlow impoundment as required by Article 402 of 
the license. Article 402 requires, in part, the licensee to operate the 
project so the maximum drawdown at the Thurlow impoundment does not 
exceed 1 foot below the normal pool elevation of 288.7 feet mean sea 
level (msl). The licensee proposes to temporarily draw down the Thurlow 
impoundment to an approximate elevation of 278.7 feet msl for a five-
month period from June 1, 2018 through October 31, 2018, and from June 
1, 2019 through October 31, 2019.

    n. Comments, Motions to Intervene, or Protests: Anyone may submit 
comments, a motion to intervene, or a protest in accordance with the 
requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211,
