Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 196 / Thursday, October 11, 2007 / Notices
The Commission’s Rules of Practice
and Procedure require all intervenors
filing documents with the Commission
to serve a copy of that document on
each person in the official service list

proposed project consists of: (1) 7,400
proposed 20 kilowatt Free Flow
generating units having a total installed
capacity of 148 megawatts, (2) a
proposed transmission line, and (3)
appurtenant facilities. The FFP Project
41, LLC, project would have an average
annual generation of 648.24 gigawatthours and be sold to a local utility.

the application is available for
inspection and reproduction at the
Commission in the Public Reference
Room, located at 888 First Street, NE.,
Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, or by

competing application itself, or a notice
of intent to file such an application, to
the Commission on or before the
specified comment date for the
particular application (see 18 CFR 4.36).
Submission of a timely notice of intent

particular application. A competing
preliminary permit application must
conform with 18 CFR 4.30 and 4.36.

competing development application or a
notice of intent to file such an
application. Submission of a timely
notice of intent to file a development
application allows an interested person
to file the competing application no

q. Proposed Scope of Studies under
Permit—A preliminary permit, if issued,
does not authorize construction. The
term of the proposed preliminary permit
would be 36 months. The work
proposed under the preliminary permit
would include economic analysis,
preparation of preliminary engineering
plans, and a study of environmental
impacts. Based on the results of these
studies, the Applicant would decide
whether to proceed with the preparation
of a development application to
construct and operate the project.
r. Comments, Protests, or Motions to
Intervene—Anyone may submit
comments, a protest, or a motion to
intervene in accordance with the
requirements of Rules of Practice and
Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, .211, .214.

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 196 / Thursday, October 11, 2007 / Notices
All documents (original and eight
copies) should be filed with: Secretary,
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
20426.
The Commission’s Rules of Practice
and Procedure require all intervenors
filing documents with the Commission
to serve a copy of that document on
each person whose name appears on the
official service list for the project.
Further, if an intervenor files comments
or documents with the Commission
relating to the merits of an issue that
may affect the responsibilities of a
particular resource agency, they must
also serve a copy of the document on
that resource agency. A copy of any
motion to intervene must also be served
upon each representative of the
Applicant specified in the particular
application.
k. Description of Request: The
Alabama Power Company (APC) is
requesting a temporary variance of the
minimum flow requirement of the
project license in order to resume a
study of the effects of minimum flow
reductions on aquatic resources,
including the federally endangered
Tulotoma snail, Tulotoma magnifica.
Flow reductions are being studied
because of a worsening drought in the
Coosa Basin, rated ‘‘exceptional,’’ the
most severe category recognized by the
U.S. Drought Monitoring Program.
The project license requires a flow
release of 2,000 cfs July 1 through
March 31. Study flow reductions were
originally approved in a July 18, 2007
Commission order. The July 18, 2007
approval allowed a reduction to 1,000
cfs, made in 250-cfs increments. The
licensee and resource agencies would
assess habitat conditions downstream of
Jordan Dam at each flow increment.
However, in mid-August, when study
flows were 1,600 cfs, high water
temperatures caused concerns for the
Tulotoma snail, and the study was
suspended.
With seasonal water temperatures
decreasing, the licensee now proposes
to resume the study, based on resource
agency consultations and written
concurrences. Flow releases would be
reduced over a period of 6 days, to 1,600
cfs, by October 1. A target flow of 1,600
cfs, within +/¥5 percent, would be
maintained until December 1, 2007,
unless a 7-day inflow of at least 2,000
cfs occurs, in which case flow releases
would be increased to 2,000 cfs. The
licensee would hold weekly
teleconferences with the resource
agencies regarding the study and flows,
and would produce aerial photographs
of the downstream area at the reduced
flow rate.
