    j. Deadline for Filing Comments or Motions: July 14, 2000.
    All comments or motions must be filed by providing an original and 
eight copies as required by the Commission's regulations to: David P. 
Boergers, Secretary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    k. Description of Amendment Request: S.D. Warren requests 
Commission approval of its proposal to amend the Sebago Lake Level 
Management Plan. The licensee proposed to: (1) Install a real-time 
telemetering water level gage at White's Bridge; (2) further define the 
upper and lower limits of the lake level rages between May 1 and 
November 1; (3) provide a target range (+0/-6 inches) for the August 1 
date; (4) increase the maximum flow of the operating parameters for 
Normal Flows from 833 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 1000 cfs; (5) 
compress the abnormal flow stages from three to two by increasing the 
maximum flows allowed to be released in stage 1 from 1,667 cfs to 2,667 
cfs; and (6) modify the response times for each stage that actuate the 
increased flows.
    The purpose of this notice is to invite comments on S.D. Warren's 
request to amend the Sebago Lake Level Management Plan. As a result of 
the drought conditions during the summer of 1999 and the unusual 
rainfall in September 1999, the operating parameters of the lake level 
management plan were challenged. S.D. Warren believes the proposed 
modifications would help improve the management objectives of balancing 
the competing interests of the lake's resources.

available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public 
Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington,
