Issaquena County Board of Supervisors; Notice of Competing 
Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 
Comments and Motions To Intervene

January 15, 2010.
    On August 25, 2009, Issaquena County Board of Supervisors filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Fitler 
Bend Hydrokinetic Project, to be located on the Mississippi River, in 
East Carroll Parish, Louisiana and Issaquena County, Mississippi.
    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 Fitler Bend Hydrokinetic Project consists of: (1) 25 
proposed 200 kilowatt Underwater Electric Kite generating units having 
a total installed capacity of 5 megawatts, mounted to a 200-foot-long 
by 80-foot-wide barge; (2) a 7-mile-long, 115 kilovolt transmission 
line; and (3) appurtenant facilities. The proposed Fitler Bend 
Hydrokinetic Project would have an average annual generation of 43.8 
gigawatt-hours.
    Applicant Contact: Gene Fulton, President, Issaquena County Board 
of Supervisors, 132 Court Street, Mayersville, MS 39113; phone: (662)
