    All documents (original and eight copies) should be filed with: 
Secretary, Federal Energy 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. A copy 
of any motion to intervene must also be served upon each representative 
of the Applicant specified in the particular application.
    k. Description of Request: The Alabama Power Company (APC) is 
requesting a temporary variance of the minimum flow requirement of the 
project license. Because of persistent drought conditions in the 
project area and the need to conserve water, APC requests that it be 
allowed to release from the Jordan Dam Project 3,000 cubic feet per 
second (cfs) April 1-June 15, 2007, instead of the 4,000 cfs required 
in the project license. Further, APC proposes to suspend the pulse flow 
release of 8,000 cfs during this period. Beginning June 16, 2007, the 
APC would return to flow release requirements specified in the license. 
Included in APC's request were concurrences received from the state and 
federal resource agencies.

inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room,
