    k. Description of Request: Central Nebraska Public Power and 
Irrigation District (CNPPID) filed a non-capacity amendment of license 
application requesting Commission approval to modify the project 
boundary for the Kingsley Dam Project based on the findings of its 
final project boundary review report. CNPPID's request is based on its 
analysis of the existing lands and shorelines around project reservoirs 
to determine their need for project operation and other project 
purposes, including public access for recreation. The proposed boundary 
modification would add approximately 3,400 acres and remove 
approximately 900 acres, resulting in a net increase of 2,500 acres of 
additional lands to be included within the project boundary.
