ECOsponsible, Incorporated; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On February 25, 2013, ECOsponsible, Incorporated filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of 
hydropower at the Rochester Gas and Electric Company's (RG&E) Mount 
Morris Power Dam located on the Genesee River, near the town of Mount 
Morris, Livingston County, New York. 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: (1) An 
existing 30-foot-high, 334-foot-long stone and concrete gravity dam; 
(2) a single, proposed, low-head, horizontal bulb turbine having a 
total installed capacity of 1,100 kilowatts; (3) a proposed automatic 
trash rack cleaner; (4) an existing operation and maintenance building 
that will be used to house the supervisory control and data acquisition 
system; (5) a proposed overhead 200-foot-long, 2,400-volt transmission 
line connecting with RG&E's system; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The 
proposed project would have an average annual generation of 4,105 
megawatt-hours, which would be sold to RG&E.
    Applicant Contact: Mr. Dennis Ryan, Executive Director, 
ECOsponsible, Incorporated, 120 Mitchell Road, East Aurora, NY 14052;
