    k. Description of Amendment: Licensee is requesting an amendment of 
Article 405 of the existing license to use the existing trashrack with 
a clear spacing of 2.5 inches instead of constructing a new angled 
trashrack with a clear spacing of 0.75 inches. Further, the licensee is 
requesting the deletion of the requirement for a 1.0 foot per second 
intake velocity at certain flow rates contained in the plan of 
operation developed in cooperation with the resource agencies and 
incorporated into the license. Licensee requests that turbine operation 
be governed by Article 402 which includes the requirement that water 
intake speeds be maintained at 1.5 feet per second or less to minimize 
fish entrainment. Licensee states that these changes are necessary in 
order for the turbines to operate efficiently. The use of the existing 
trashrack will help maintain the historic appearance of the project 
site which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
    l. Locations of applications: A copy of the application is
