[Project No.: 14813–000]
Arkansas Electric Cooperative
Corporation; Notice of Preliminary
Permit Application Accepted for Filing
and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On January 4, 1017, Arkansas Electric
Cooperative Corporation (AECC), filed
an application for a preliminary permit,
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal
Power Act, proposing to study the
feasibility of the River Mountain
Pumped Storage Project, at the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Lake
Dardanelle on the Arkansas River in
Logan County, Arkansas. 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: (1) A 120-foot-high compacted rock
fill embankment surrounding; (2) a 208acre upper reservoir, with an
impervious liner, having 11,650 acrefoot gross storage capacity; (3) a intake/
outlet structure in the upper reservoir;
(4) a 680-foot-long, 30-foot-diameter,

concrete-lined power shaft penstock; (5)
a 1,420-foot-long 30-foot-diameter,
concrete-lined, power tunnel penstock
that will split into three 16-footdiameter penstocks approximately 450foot-long, that will extend to the
powerhouse; (6) an underground
powerhouse/pump station, containing
three reversible pump-turbine
generating units, with a total generating
capacity of 600 megawatts; (7) a 6,620
foot-long tailrace tunnel to; the existing
Corps Lake Dardanelle as its lower
reservoir; (8) an intake/outlet structure
located on the south shore of Lake
Dardanelle; (9) a 8,000-foot-long, 500kilovolt overhead transmission line
from the powerhouse to (10) a proposed
substation at the point of
interconnection with an existing utility
transmission line. The proposed project
would have an annual energy generation
of 640,000 megawatt-hours.

Commission
[Docket No. CP17–58–000]
Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Company, LLC; Notice of Intent To
Prepare an Environmental Assessment
for the Proposed St. James Supply
Project and Request for Comments on
Environmental Issues
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of
the St. James Supply Project involving
construction and operation of facilities
by Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line
Company, LLC (Transco) in St. James,
Pointe Coupee, and St. Helena Parishes,
Louisiana. The Commission will use
this EA in its decision-making process
to determine whether the project is in
the public convenience and necessity.
This notice announces the opening of
the scoping process the Commission
will use to gather input from the public
and interested agencies on the project.
You can make a difference by providing
us with your specific comments or
concerns about the project. Your
comments should focus on the potential
environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or
lessen environmental impacts. Your
input will help the Commission staff
determine what issues they need to
evaluate in the EA. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly
recorded, please send your comments so
that the Commission receives them in
Washington, DC on or before April 14,
2017.
If you sent comments on this project
to the Commission before the opening of
this docket on February 6, 2017, you
will need to file those comments in
Docket No. CP17–58–000 to ensure they
are considered as part of this
proceeding.
This notice is being sent to the
Commission’s current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and
local government representatives should

notify their constituents of this
proposed project and encourage them to
comment on their areas of concern.
If you are a landowner receiving this
notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about
the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the
proposed facilities. The company would
seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable
agreement. However, if the Commission
approves the project, that approval
conveys with it the right of eminent
domain. Therefore, if easement
negotiations fail to produce an
agreement, the pipeline company could
initiate condemnation proceedings
where compensation would be
determined in accordance with state
law.
Transco provided landowners with a
fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled
‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On
My Land? What Do I Need To Know?’’
This fact sheet addresses a number of
typically asked questions, including the
use of eminent domain and how to
participate in the Commission’s
proceedings. It is also available for
viewing on the FERC Web site
(www.ferc.gov).
Public Participation
For your convenience, there are three
methods you can use to submit your
comments to the Commission. The
Commission encourages electronic filing
of comments and has expert staff
available to assist you at (202) 502–8258
or efiling@ferc.gov. Please carefully
follow these instructions so that your
comments are properly recorded.
(1) You can file your comments
electronically using the eComment
feature on the Commission’s Web site
(www.ferc.gov) under the link to
Documents and Filings. This is an easy
method for submitting brief, text-only
comments on a project;
(2) You can file your comments
electronically by using the eFiling
feature on the Commission’s Web site
(www.ferc.gov) under the link to
Documents and Filings. With eFiling,

a comment on a particular project,
please select ‘‘Comment on a Filing’’ as
the filing type; or
(3) You can file a paper copy of your
comments by mailing them to the
following address. Be sure to reference
the project docket number (CP17–58–
