FFP Missouri 13, LLC; Grays Hydro, LLC; Notice of Competing 
Preliminary Permit Applications Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 
Comments, and Motions To Intervene

November 19, 2010.
    On May 18, 2010, FFP Missouri 13, LLC and Grays Hydro, LLC filed 
applications, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of hydropower at the U.S. Army Corps 
of Engineers (Corps) Grays Landing Lock & Dam located on the 
Monongahela River in Greene County, Pennsylvania. 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.
    Descriptions of the proposed Grays Landing Lock & Dam Projects:
    FFP Missouri 13, LLC's project (Project No. 13763-000) would 
consist of: (1) An excavated intake channel slightly longer and wider 
than the powerhouse; (2) a 140-foot-long, 16-foot-wide, 40-foot-high 
proposed powerhouse containing two generating units having a total 
installed capacity of 15.0 megawatts (MW); (3) an excavated tailrace 
channel slightly longer and wider than the powerhouse; (4) a proposed 
7,400-foot-long, 34.0 to 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission line. The 
proposed project would have an average annual generation of 47.0 
gigawatt-hours (GWh), which would be sold to a local utility.
