The licensee requests Commission approval to implement the flow variance through March 31, 2014, during which time, it will instead, release 500 cfs to the lower Yuba River. The licensee also requests that the method for determining compliance with article 33 be temporarily modified, such that compliance with the minimum flow requirements be based on 5-day running averages of the applicable daily streamflows, with instantaneous flows E:\FR\FM\14FEN1.SGM 14FEN1 mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 8952 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 31 / Friday, February 14, 2014 / Notices never less than 90 percent of the specified requirement. l.

Description of Request: The licensee requests a temporary variance to reduce minimum flows required by article 105 of the project’s license.

Due to the urgent nature of this request and the potential to conserve water for later municipal and instream flow purposes, the Commission approved the licensee’s request by order dated February 6, 2014. The approved temporary variance expires no later than March 15, 2014. However, should the licensee request another temporary variance due to continued drought conditions once the current variance expires, the Commission will take into account any comments received, intervention requests, and protests received in its analysis of any future variance request. Based on responses received to this notice, the Commission has also reserved the right to modify its February 6, 2014 order. l.
