free), or (202) 502-8659 (TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, you may
submit a paper copy. Submissions sent via the U.S. Postal Service must
be addressed to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.
Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to: Kimberly
D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 12225 Wilkins
Avenue, Rockville, MD 20852. The first page of any filing should
include docket number P-298-083. Comments emailed to Commission staff
are not considered part of the Commission record.
The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all
intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of
that document on each person whose name appears on the official service
list for the project. Further, if an intervenor 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 a copy of the document on that resource agency.
k. Description of Request: The licensee requests Commission
approval through the end of 2022 for a temporary variance of the
minimum flow requirements below the Kaweah No. 1 and No. 2 diversions,
as required by Article 405 of the project license. The licensee states
that the projected runoff is extremely low, and current runoff in the
Kaweah River and East Fork Kaweah River is at the lowest level in 20
years. Being that the licensee cannot accurately forecast long-term
runoff during this extreme drought event, it is proactively requesting
the temporary variance to allow it to balance available instream flow
with its contractual water rights obligations, should it become
necessary. Should drought conditions persist and the temporary variance
is implemented, the licensee would deliver the minimum amount of water
necessary through the respective diversion in order to meet its
contractual water rights obligations; the licensee would not generate
at the respective powerhouse(s) during implementation of the variance.
The licensee would only implement the variance in the event that low
inflow into the diversion dam(s) impairs the ability to meet both
minimum instream flow releases and domestic water supply requirements.
Additionally, the licensee proposes to monitor and report flow
conditions to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and California Department
of Fish and Wildlife during the temporary variance.
l. Locations of the Application: The Commission provides all
interested persons an opportunity to view and/or print the contents of
this document via the internet through the Commission's website at

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