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. This application has been accepted for filing and is now ready
for environmental analysis.
    The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) issued a final rule on
April 20, 2022, revising the regulations under 40 CFR parts 1502, 1507,
and 1508 that federal agencies use to implement the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (see National Environmental Policy Act
Implementing Regulations Revisions, 87 FR 23,453-70). The final rule
became effective on May 20, 2022. Commission staff intends to conduct
its NEPA review in accordance with CEQ's new regulations.
    The Ozark Beach Project consists of the following existing
facilities: (1) a 2,312-acre reservoir (Lake Taneycomo) with a gross
storage capacity of 24,640 acre-feet and a usable storage capacity of
2,840 acre-feet at a water surface elevation of 701.35 feet National
Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29); (2) a 1,301-foot-long dam
consisting of, from west to east: (a) a 420-foot-long earth fill
embankment with a concrete core wall, (b) an 18-foot-long concrete
overflow spillway topped with a sharp-crested steel weir having a
compound section, (c) a 575-foot-long, 57-foot-high, concrete overflow
spillway topped with 32 4-foot-high Obermeyer gates, (d) an 18-foot-
long concrete non-overflow section, (e) an integral 220-foot-long
reinforced concrete powerhouse, and (f) a 50-foot-long concrete non-
overflow section; (3) a 220-foot-long, 88-foot-wide, 92-foot-high
reinforced concrete integral powerhouse with an operating head of 48
feet; (4) trash racks at the entrance to the intakes; (5) two 7,500
horsepower (5.625 megawatt (MW)) and two 7,200 horsepower (5.400 MW)
vertical-shaft Francis-type turbines with a total capacity of 29,400
horsepower (22.050 MW), each coupled to a 4.0 MW generator with a total
nameplate rating of 16.0 MW; (6) a 445-foot-long, 4,600-volt overhead
transmission line connected to a three-phase, 4,600 to 161,000 volt
step-up transformer with a rating of 22,400-kilovolt ampere that
connects to Empire District's 161,000-volt transmission system; and (7)
appurtenant facilities.
    The Ozark Beach Project is situated between two multipurpose
projects owned by the Corps. The Corps' Table Rock Project, which is
located approximately 22 miles upstream of the Ozark Beach Project, is
operated in a peaking mode based on regional electrical demand
requirements. The Ozark Beach Project discharges directly into the
Corps' Bull Shoals Project reservoir, which is located immediately
downstream. Using the storage in Lake Taneycomo, the Ozark Beach
Project is currently operated based on various conditions including
closely matching the releases of the Corps' upstream Table Rock
Project, market pricing, Lake Taneycomo water level, the water level of
the Corps' downstream Bull Shoals Project, and rainfall. The project
currently operates to maintain water surface elevations between 701.35
and 700.00 feet NGVD29 in Lake Taneycomo. The Ozark Beach Project
currently has an estimated annual energy production of about 50,768
megawatt-hours (MWh).
    In its amended application, Empire District proposes to replace the
existing 4-foot-high Obermeyer gates with new 5.15-foot-high Obermeyer
gates. As proposed, the water surface elevation of Lake Taneycomo would
be raised from 701.35 to 702.5 feet NGVD29 when the 5.15-foot gates are
fully raised. At a water surface elevation of 702.5 feet NGVD29, Lake
Taneycomo would increase from 2,312 to 2,398 acres, its gross storage
capacity would increase from 24,640 to 25,790 acre-feet, and its usable
storage capacity would increase from 2,840 to 3,990 acre-feet. As
amended, the project would operate between 702.5 and 700.0 feet NGVD29,
the total generating capacity would remain 16.0 MW, and the estimated
annual energy production would increase from 50,768 to 51,980 MWh.
    The current project boundary for the project encompasses
approximately 8,271 acres of water and land. Empire District proposes
to modify the current project boundary by removing 5,959 acres for a
proposed project boundary that encompasses 2,475 acres. Empire
District's proposal would increase the existing area of federal land
occupied by the project from 5.1 acres to 5.47 acres.
    m. A copy of the application can be viewed on the Commission's
website at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the
docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number
field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC at

Online Support.
    n. Anyone may submit comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene
in accordance with the requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure,
18 CFR 385.210, .211, and .214. In determining the appropriate action
to take, the Commission will consider all protests or other comments
filed, but only those who file a motion to intervene in accordance with
the Commission's Rules may become a party to the proceeding. Any
comments, protests, or motions to intervene must be received on or

    All filings must (1) bear in all capital letters the title
``PROTEST'', ``MOTION

TO INTERVENE'', ``COMMENTS,'' ``REPLY COMMENTS,'' ``RECOMMENDATIONS,''
``PRELIMINARY TERMS AND CONDITIONS,'' or ``PRELIMINARY FISHWAY
PRESCRIPTIONS;'' (2) set forth in the heading the name of the applicant
and the project number of the application to which the filing responds;
(3) furnish the name, address, and telephone number of the person
protesting or intervening; and (4) otherwise comply with the

from the applicant. A copy of any protest or motion to intervene must
be served upon each representative of the applicant specified in the
particular application. A copy of all other filings in reference to
this application must be accompanied by proof of service on all persons
listed in the service list prepared by the Commission in this
