 FFP Project 124, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On April 2, 2013, FFP Project 124, LLC filed an application for a 
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act 
(FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of a hydropower project to be 
located at the US Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Red River Lock & Dam 
1 on the Red River near the town of Marksville in Catahoula 
Parish, Louisiana. 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 the following: (1) A 575-
foot-long, 270-foot-wide forebay with a 200-foot-long retaining wall; 
(2) a 200-foot-long, 270-foot-wide powerhouse containing four 
generating units with a total capacity of 36.8 megawatts; (3) a 500-
foot-long, 270-foot-wide tailrace with a 200-foot-long retaining wall; 
(4) a 4.16/69 kilo-Volt (kV) substation; and (5) a 0.4-mile-long, 69kV 
transmission line. The proposed project would have an average annual 
generation of 163,200 megawatt-hours, and operate as directed by the 
Corps.
