Maysville PSH, LLC; Notice of
Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting
Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications
On September 10, 2020, Maysville
PSH, 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 the
closed-loop Maysville Pumped Storage
Project located in Mason County,
Kentucky and Adams County, Ohio. 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 Maysville Pumped
Storage Project would consist of the

following: (1) A 7,400-foot-long, 110foot-high roller-compacted concrete ring
dam; (2) an upper reservoir with a
surface area of 65 acres and a storage
capacity of 5,625 acre-feet; (3) a 630foot-long, 18.5-foot-diameter concretelined, inclined headrace tunnel leading
to; (4) a 1,020 foot-long, 18.5-footdiameter high pressure, steel-lined
vertical shaft connecting to; (5) three
100-foot-long, 10-foot-diameter steel
penstocks; (6) a 400-foot-long by 75foot-wide and 160-foot-high
underground powerhouse containing
three 167-megawatt reversible pumpturbines; (7) a 150-foot-long by 75-footwide and 44-foot-high underground
transformer chamber; (8) a 3,200-footlong, 21.6-foot-diameter concrete-lined
tailrace conduit; (9) a lower reservoir
created within excavated underground
mine space in Mason County, Kentucky,
with a surface area of 120 acres and a
storage capacity of 5,556 acre-feet; and
(10) a new 2.8-mile-long, 230 kilovolt
(kv) transmission line, which would run
underground from the transformer
chamber through the existing mine for
1.2 miles, continue under the Ohio
River through a 0.2-mile-long, 18-footdiameter tunnel, and then run overhead
for 1.4 miles to the point of
interconnection with a 345-kV bus at
the former Stuart Generating Station in
Adams County, Ohio. The proposed
project would have an estimated annual
generation of 876,000 megawatt-hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
FERC–725U (Mandatory Reliability
Standards: Reliability Standard CIP–
014)
OMB Control No.: 1902–0274.
Type of Request: Three-year approval
of the FERC–725U information
collection requirements, with no
changes to the reporting or
recordkeeping requirements.
Abstract: On August 8, 2005, The
Electricity Modernization Act of 2005,
which is Title XII of the Energy Policy
Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005), was enacted
into law. EPAct 2005 added a new
section 215 to the Federal Power Act
(FPA), which requires a Commissioncertified Electric Reliability
Organization (ERO) to develop
mandatory and enforceable Reliability
Standards, subject to Commission
review and approval. Once approved,
the Reliability Standards may be
enforced by the ERO, subject to
Commission oversight, or by the
Commission independently. Section 215
of the FPA requires a Commissioncertified ERO to develop mandatory and
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
enforceable Reliability Standards,
subject to Commission review and
approval. Once approved, the Reliability
Standards may be enforced by the ERO
subject to Commission oversight or by
the Commission independently. In
2006, the Commission certified NERC
(now called the North American Electric
Reliability Corporation) as the ERO
pursuant to section 215 of the FPA.
Reliability Standard CIP–014–2 requires
applicable transmission owners and
transmission operators to identify and
protect transmission stations and
transmission substations, and their
associated primary control centers that
if rendered inoperable or damaged
resulting from a physical attack could
result in widespread instability,
uncontrolled separation, or cascading
within an Interconnection.
In terms of information collection
requirements, an applicable entity must
create or maintain documentation
showing compliance, when appropriate,
with each requirement of the Reliability
Standard. This Reliability Standard
CIP–014–2 has six requirements.
Transmission owners and transmission
operators must keep data or evidence to
show compliance with the standard for
three years unless directed by its
Compliance Enforcement Authority. If a
responsible entity is found noncompliant, it must keep information
related to the non-compliance until
mitigation is complete and approved, or
for three years, whichever is longer.
Type of Respondents: Intrastate
natural gas and Hinshaw pipelines
Estimate of Annual Burden 1and
Cost 2: The Commission estimates the
total Public Reporting Burden for the
FERC–725U information collection as:
1 Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide
information to or for a Federal agency. For further
explanation of what is included in the information
collection burden, refer to 5 CFR 1320.3.
2 Commission staff estimates that the industry’s
skill set and cost (for wages and benefits) for FERC–
725U are approximately the same as the
Commission’s average cost. The FERC 2020 average
salary plus benefits for one FERC full-time
equivalent (FTE) is $172,329/year (or $83.00/hour).
