McGinnis, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted 
for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing 
Applications

June 25, 2009.
    On April 29, 2009, McGinnis, Inc., filed an application for a 
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of the McAlpine Hydrokinetic 
Project, located on the Ohio River, in Jefferson County, Kentucky, and 
Clark County, Indiana. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if 
issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license 
application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not 
authorize the permit holder to perform any land disturbing activities 
or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the 
owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of: (1) A 100 to 300-foot-long 
by 20 to 52-foot-wide barge spudded down to the riverbed; (2) 10 6-8-
foot-long by 6-8-foot-diameter turbine-generators mounted in line along 
the side of the barge; (3) one armored, high-voltage cable transmitting 
the generated power to the existing transmission line located adjacent 
to the proposed project area; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The 
proposed project would generate about 1,533 megawatt-hours.
