Free Flow Power Iowa 1, LLC; Notice of Successive Preliminary 
Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions 
To Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On January 2, 2013, Free Flow Power Iowa 1, LLC (FFP Iowa) filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the 
Mississippi Lock and Dam 12 Water Power Project (Mississippi L+D 12 
Project or project) to be located at the existing U. S. Army Corps of 
Engineers (Corps) Mississippi River Lock and Dam No. 12 on the 
Mississippi River near the City of Bellevue, Jackson County, Iowa. 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 project would consist of the following new facilities: 
(1) A powerhouse located at the east end of the movable section of the 
dam and containing six horizontal bulb turbines with a total nameplate 
capacity of 17.06 megawatts; (2) a 69-kilovolt, 4,940-foot-long 
overhead transmission line connecting the project generation with 
Alliant Energy transmission facilities; and (3) appurtenant facilities. 
The majority of the project would be located on lands owned by the 
United States government and operated by the United States Army Corps 
of Engineers. The estimated annual generation of the Mississippi L+D 12 
Project would be 85.4 gigawatt-hours.
