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.

Both applications were filed electronically and given the filing date of July 12, 2010, at 8:30 a.m. 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 projects are described as follows: The New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam Hydroelectric Project, Project No. 13808–000, filed on July 12, 2010 at 8:30 a.m., would consist of: (1) One 75foot-wide lock frame module placed downstream from the New Savannah Bluff Dam, housed between two prefabricated concrete walls that would PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 49925 guide flows into the turbines; (2) the lock frame module would consist of seven hydropower turbines, each rated at 1.25 megawatts (MW) and have a total rated capacity of 8.75 MW; (3) fish/ debris screens located upstream of the module; (4) a new transformer in a switchyard which would be located on the south bank of the river; and (5) a 3mile-long 69-kilovolt (kV) transmission line extending from the switchyard to an existing sub-station located southwest of the dam. Hydro Friends is also exploring alternatives that would locate the module in the downstream section of the Corps lock, and upstream of the dam. Each design would have an average annual generation of 57,526 megawatt-hours/year (MWh/yr). The project would operate run-of-river and utilize flows released from the New Savannah Bluff Dam. The New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam Hydroelectric Project, Project No. 13813–000, filed on July 12, 2010 at 8:30 a.m., would consist of: (1) Two to four compact bulb turbines, with a combined generation capacity of 7.0 MW, placed in the existing gate bays of the Corps New Savannah Bluff Dam; (2) a 30-foot x 40-foot control building located on the South Carolina side of the river; and (3) a 10,900-foot-long transmission line extending south from a switchyard near the dam to an existing transmission line located south of the project. FFP is also exploring an alternative that would involve construction of a new powerhouse, intake channel, and tailrace opposite the lock structure on the South Carolina side of the river.

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 Sawgrass Storage Project involving construction and operation of facilities by Sawgrass Storage LLC (Sawgrass) in Lincoln, Ouachita, and Union Parish, Louisiana. This EA will be used by the PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Commission 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. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the scoping period will close on September 7, 2010. This notice is being sent to the Commission’s current environmental mailing list for this project. State and local government representatives are asked to notify their constituents of this planned project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern. If you are a landowner receiving this notice, you may be contacted by a pipeline company representative about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the planned facilities. The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if the project is approved by the Commission, 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. A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?’’ is available for viewing on the FERC Web site (https:// www.ferc.gov). 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. Sawgrass plans to construct and operate a natural gas storage facility with a working gas capacity of 25 billion cubic feet. According to Sawgrass, its project would provide flexible, marketbased rate storage services on various interstate and intrastate pipeline systems, and provide supplemental natural gas supply during periods of peak natural gas usage. The Sawgrass Storage Project would consist of the following facilities: • A storage reservoir in a depleted natural gas production field; • 5 wellpads with up to 20 horizontally drilled wells; • Approximately 5.5 miles of gathering pipeline; E:\FR\FM\16AUN1.SGM 16AUN1
