    k. Description of Application: The applicant seeks approval to 
amend article 407 of its project license to revise the schedule for 
management of lake levels (rule curve). The licensee proposes to 
commence filling the lake one month earlier in order to obtain a lake 
elevation of 439 feet by March 15, provide steady lake levels during 
fish spawning, and to maintain the lake at the summer level until 
November 1 in order to facilitate late-season recreation. The licensee 
also proposes to maintain the lake at its annual low from December 15 
until January 1 of each year in order to provide a period for adjacent 
landowners to work on permitted encroachments. Additionally, with the 
exception of the fish spawning period from March 15 to June 30, the 
licensee requests that it be allowed to fluctuate the reservoir within 
6 inches above and below the levels determined by the rule curve to 
provide for some peaking operation. The licensee states that it will 
vary from article 407 to perform necessary maintenances, safely manage 
flood flows, during operating emergencies, and to meet minimum flow 
requirements under article 408.
    l. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is 
available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public
