The Commission has addressed a number of these issues in specific cases, based on the facts and circumstances presented in a given case and the particular centralized capacity market design implemented by individual regions. This technical conference will provide an opportunity to review at a high level the centralized capacity market rules and structures, and will examine how these markets are accomplishing their intended goals and objectives through a competitive, market-based process. Recognizing and respecting differences across the markets, the technical conference will focus on the goals and objectives of existing centralized capacity markets (e.g., resource adequacy, long-term price signals, fixed-cost recovery, etc.) and examine how specific design elements are accomplishing existing and emerging goals and objectives (e.g., forward period, commitment period, product definition and specificity, market power mitigation, etc.). A supplemental notice will be issued prior to the technical conference with further details regarding the agenda and organization of the technical conference, as well as information regarding interest in speaking at the technical conference. Those interested in attending the technical conference are encouraged to register at the following Web page: https://www.ferc.gov/whats-new/ registration/cap-markets-09-25-13form.asp The technical conference will not be transcribed.

Idaho Irrigation District; New Sweden Irrigation District; Notice 
of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On April 19, 2013, the Idaho and New Sweden Irrigation Districts, 
filed a joint application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 
4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility 
of the County Line Road Hydroelectric Project (County Line Road Project 
or project) to be located on the Snake River near Idaho Falls, in 
Jefferson and Bonneville counties, Idaho. 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 two developments, the Idaho 
Canal and the Great Western Canal. Both developments would utilize an 
existing 840-foot-long, 10-foot-high concrete overflow weir impounding 
a reservoir with a surface area of 30 acres and a storage capacity of 
250-acre-feet at a maximum surface elevation of 4,765 feet mean sea 
level. The two developments would also include the following new 
facilities:

Idaho Canal Development

    (1) A 70-foot-wide concrete diversion structure with seven, 8-foot-
wide, 5-foot-high steel head gates to divert water from the Snake 
River; (2) a 3.1-mile-long, 65 to 75-foot-wide, 8 to 10-foot-deep canal 
extending between the head gates and the powerhouse; (3) a gate 
structure in the canal to divert flows to the powerhouse while 
maintaining irrigation flows; (4) a powerhouse containing a 1.2-
megawatt (MW) Kaplan turbine; (5) a tailrace canal; (6) a gated 
overflow spillway to pass flows around the powerhouse; (7) a 2,500-
foot-long, 12.5-kilovolt (kV) transmission line extending to a 
distribution line owned by Rocky Mountain Power; (8) a switchyard; and 
(9) appurtenant facilities.

Great Western Canal Development

    (1) An 80-foot-wide-concrete diversion structure with four, 13-
foot-wide, 5-foot-high steel radial head gates to divert water from the 
Snake River; (2) a 3.5-mile-long, 50 to 100-foot-wide, 8 to 10-foot-
deep canal extending between the head gates and the powerhouse; (3) a 
gate structure in the canal to divert flows to the powerhouse while 
maintaining irrigation flows; (4) a powerhouse containing a 1.3-MW 
Kaplan turbine; (5) a tailrace canal; (6) a gated overflow spillway to 
pass flows around the powerhouse; (7) a 500-foot-long, 12.5-kV 
transmission line extending to a distribution line owned by Rocky
