FFP Project 78, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

July 10, 2009.
    On May 22, 2009, FFP Project 78, 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 Island 35 Bend Hydrokinetic 
Project, to be located on the Mississippi River, in Mississippi County, 
Arkansas and Tipton County, Tennessee.
    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 Island 35 Bend Hydrokinetic Project consists of: (1) 
4,689 proposed 40 kilowatt Free Flow generating units having a total 
installed capacity of 187.56 megawatts; (2) a 6.4-mile-long, 69 
kilovolt transmission line; and (3) appurtenant facilities. The 
proposed Island 35 Bend Hydrokinetic Project would have an average 
annual generation of 821 gigawatt-hours.
    Applicant Contact: Ramya Swaminathan, Vice President of 
Development, Free Flow Power Corporation, 33 Commercial Street, 
Gloucester, MA 01930; phone: (978) 226-1531.
