d. Applicant: Grand River Dam Authority.

Cherokees is the reservoir for the Pensacola Project.
g. Filed Pursuant to: 18 CFR 4.200.

P.O. Box 409, Drawer G, Vinita, OK 74301.
i. FERC Contact: Any questions on this notice should be addressed

j. Deadline for filing comments and recommendations, motions to

All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with:
David P. Boergers, Secretary, Federal Energy
[[Page 33481]]
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426.
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 the Application: Article 401 of Grand River Dam
Authority's (GRDA) license for the Pensacola Project requires GRDA to
lower Grand Lake to elevation 741 feet Pensacola Datum (PD) from
September 1 through October 15 yearly. Lowering the lake supports the
project's millet seeding program designed to enhance fish and wildlife.
GRDA filed an application June 2, 1999, for a temporary variance so
GRDA would not have to lower Grand Lake to elevation 741 feet PD from
September 1 through October 15, 1999. Instead, GRDA would keep the lake
at elevation 742 feet PD during this time. GRDA says it is not
necessary to lower Grand Lake to 741 feet PD this year because it
intends to seed millet at elevation 742 feet or above. The temporary
variance it seeks would only apply September 1 through October 15,
1999.
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) 208-1371. The application may be viewed
on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call (202) 208-
2222 for assistance).
