Actually LTL the variance has to be granted by the Corp not FERC.

With regards to next year the heck with Dec or Jan, we need to push for allowing APCo not to pull the plug and obtain a variance for higher winter pool period in order to have a higher probability of actually getting close to the summer rule curve for next year if this draught / weather pattern continues into next years or even worse for years to come.

As today, the current rules curve does not take into consideration the historical change in weather patterns, improvements in long-term meteorologist forecasting and the addition of another flood control dam near Wedowee, Alabama.

Do not forget the current rules curve is over 40 years old and with the dam reliceinsing in 2013 it might be another 40+ years thereafter before there is an opportunity to chnage the rules curve.

Just my 2 cents on the matter.
