        The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all 
    intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of 
    that document on each person whose name appears on the official service 
    list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or

    may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they 
    must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
        k. The proposed project would utilize the existing U.S. Army Corps 
    of Engineers' Emmett Sanders L&D #4 and would consist of: (1) 14 new 
    40-foot-long, 114-inch-diameter steel penstocks; (2) a new 1,000-foot-
    long, 30-foot-wide, 30-foot-high powerhouse containing 14 generating 
    units having a total installed capacity of 27,000-kW; (3) a new exhaust 
    apron; (4) a new 1000-foot-long, 14.7-kV transmission line; and (5) 
    appurtenant facilities.
        Applicant estimates that the average annual generation would be 166 
    GWh and that the cost of the studies to be performed under the terms of 
    the permit would be $3,000,000. Project energy would be sold to utility 
    companies, corporations, municipalities, aggregators, or similar 
    entities.
        l. A copy of the application is available for inspection and 
    reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888

        Preliminary Permit--Anyone desiring to file a competing application 
    for preliminary permit for a proposed project must submit the competing 
    application itself, or a notice of intent to file such an application, 
    to the Commission on or before the specified comment data for the 
    particular application (see 18 CFR 4.36). Submission of a timely notice 
    of intent allows an interested person to file the competing preliminary 
    permit application no later than 30 days after the specified comment 
    date for the particular application. A competing preliminary permit 
    application must conform with 18 CFR 4.30(b) and 4.36.
        Preliminary Permit--Any qualified development applicant desiring to 
    file a competing development application must submit to the Commission, 
    on or before a specified comment date for the particular application, 
    either a competing development application or a notice of intent to 
    file such an application. Submission of a timely notice of intent to 
    file a development application allows an interested person to file the 
    competing application no later than 120 days after the specified 
    comment date for the particular application. A competing license 
    application must conform with 18 CFR 4.30(b) and 4.36.
        Notice of intent--A notice of intent must specify the exact name, 
    business address, and telephone number of the prospective applicant, 
    and must include an unequivocal statement of intent to submit, if such 
    an application may be file, either a preliminary permit application or 
    a development application (specify which type of application). A notice 
    of intent must be served on the applicant(s) named in this public 
    notice.
        Proposed Scope of Studies under Permit--A preliminary permit, if 
    issued, does not authorize construction. The term of the proposed 
    preliminary permit would be 36 months. The work proposed under the 
    preliminary permit would include economic analysis, preparation of 
    preliminary engineering plans, and a study of environmental impacts. 
    Based on the results of these studies, the Applicant would decide 
    whether to proceed with the preparation of a development application to 
    construct and operate the project.
        Comments, Protests, or Motions to Intervene--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, 
    .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 before the specified 
    comment date for the particular application.

    of copies provided by the Commission's regulations to: The Secretary, 
    Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, 
    DC 20426. An additional copy must be sent to Director, Division of 
    Project Review, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, at the above-
    mentioned address. A copy of any notice of intent, competing 
    application or motion to intervene must also be served upon each

    application.
        Agency Comments--Federal, state, and local agencies are invited to 
    file comments on the described application. A copy of the application 
    may be obtained by agencies directly from the Applicant. If an agency
