Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 230 / Tuesday, December 1, 2015 / Notices
There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below, file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
5 copies of filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy to
the applicant and to every other party in
the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
project should submit an original and
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents,
and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission’s
environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be
required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commenters
will not receive copies of all documents
filed by other parties or issued by the
Commission (except for the mailing of
environmental documents issued by the
Commission) and will not have the right
to seek court review of the
Commission’s final order.
Motions to intervene, protests and
comments may be filed electronically

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments and Motions To Intervene
On June 25, 2015, Energy Resources
USA Inc., 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
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps)
David D. Terry Lock and Dam on the
Arkansas River near the town of Little
Rock in Pulaski County, Arkansas. 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 100-foot-long
overflow bank extension connecting to
the existing dam; (2) a 770-foot-long,
200-foot-wide intake channel with a 85foot-long retaining wall; (3) a 220-footlong, 90-foot-wide powerhouse
containing four generating units with a
total capacity of 18 megawatts; (4) a 500foot-long, 200-foot-wide tailrace with a
85-foot-long retaining wall; (5) a 4.16/69
kilo-Volt (kV) substation; and (6) a 4mile-long, 69 kV transmission line. The
proposed project would have an
estimated average annual generation of
128,200 megawatt-hours, and operate as
directed by the Corps.
