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

July 29, 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 Meldahl Hydrokinetic Project, 
to be located on the Ohio River, in Clermont County, Ohio and Bracken 
County, Kentucky.
    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 Meldahl Hydrokinetic Project consists of: (1) 10 
proposed 35 kilowatt turbine-generator units having a total installed 
capacity of 0.35 megawatts; (2) a 2,000-feet-long, 13.2 kilovolt 
transmission line; and (3) appurtenant facilities. The proposed 
Winfield Hydrokinetic Project would have an average annual generation 
of 1.533 gigawatt-hours.
