    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all

that document on each person 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 exemptee is seeking a permanent 
amendment, or in the alternative a temporary amendment for 2019 while 
the Commission reviews the permanent amendment request. This notice 
only seeks comments, motions to intervene, and protests on a temporary 
variance from the authorized target elevation, for the period from May 
15 through November 15, 2019, which is consistent with the time period 
for the previously granted temporary variances.
    The exemptee requests authorization to operate the project at a 
target elevation of 802.9 feet mean sea level (msl) during the ``ice-
free period,'' while continuing to operate the project within the 
authorized elevation range of 801.83 feet msl and 803.17 feet msl. The 
exemptee defines the ``ice-free period'' as between May 15 and 
September 15. The exemptee would continue to operate at the current 
authorized target elevation of 802.5 feet msl and within the authorized 
elevation range of 801.83 feet msl and 803.17 feet msl at all other 
times of the year. The exemptee states the amendment is necessary to 
address recreation and possible public safety concerns when operating 
the project at the authorized target elevation.
    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
