    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,

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.
