It is not necessary to separately intervene again in a subdocket related to a compliance filing if you have previously intervened in the same docket. Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceeding. Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of that document on the Applicant. In reference to filings initiating a new proceeding, interventions or protests submitted on or before the comment deadline need not be served on persons other than the Applicant. As it relates to any qualifying facility filings, the notices of self-certification [or self-recertification] listed above, do not institute a proceeding regarding qualifying facility status. A notice of self-certification [or self-recertification] simply provides notification that the entity making the filing has determined the facility named in the notice meets the applicable criteria to be a qualifying facility. Intervention and/or protest do not lie in dockets that are qualifying facility self-certifications or selfrecertifications. Any person seeking to challenge such qualifying facility status may do so by filing a motion pursuant to 18 CFR 292.207(d)(iii). Intervention and protests may be filed in response to notices of qualifying facility dockets other than self-certifications and selfrecertifications. The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and interventions in lieu of paper, using the FERC Online links at https:// www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic service, persons with Internet access who will eFile a document and/or be listed as a contact for an intervenor must create and validate an eRegistration account using the eRegistration link. Select the eFiling link to log on and submit the intervention or protests.

On April 29, 2010, Alabama Municipal Electric Authority filed an application for a preliminary permit pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the George W. Andrews Lock and Dam Hydroelectric Project. The proposed project would be located at the existing George W. Andrews Lock and Dam on the Chattahoochee River in Huston County, near the town of Columbia, Alabama. The proposed project would occupy federal lands under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District. 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 new powerhouse containing four turbine-generators with a total combined plant capacity of 25 megawatts; (2) an approximately 10mile-long, 115-kilovolt transmission line connecting the powerhouse to an existing substation; and (3) appurtenant facilities. The proposed powerhouse and adjacent facilities would occupy about 8 acres of land on the levee section of the Corps’ facility, on the Alabama shore, opposite the river from the lock structure. The proposed project would have an average annual generation of 82 gigawatt-hours. Applicant Contact: Mr. Mark Crisp, P.E., C.H.
