Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

July 9, 2009.
    On May 22, 2009, FFP Project 71, LLC filed an application for a 
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of the Matthews Bend Hydrokinetic 
Project, to be located on the Mississippi River, in Chicot County,

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 Matthews Bend Hydrokinetic Project consists of: (1) 
3,802 proposed 40 kilowatt Free Flow generating units having a total 
installed capacity of 152.08 megawatts; (2) a 5-mile-long, 69 kilovolt 
transmission line;
