Competing Applications

    On February 1, 2013, FFP Project 56, LLC filed an application for a 
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act

Monterey in Henry and Owen Counties, 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 project would consist of the following: (1) A 310-
foot-long, 140-foot-wide intake channel with a 125-foot-long retaining 
wall; (2) a 150-foot-long, 100-foot-wide powerhouse containing two 
generating units with a total capacity of 7.1 megawatts; (3) a 260-
foot-long, 130-foot-wide tailrace with a 125-foot-long retaining wall; 
(4) a 4.16/34.5 kilo-volt (kV) substation; (5) a 5.5-mile-long, 34.5kV 
transmission line. The proposed project would have an average annual 
generation of 28,100 megawatt-hours, and operate as directed by the 
Corps.
