SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–521, Payments for
Benefits from Headwater Improvements.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0087.
Type of Request: Three-year extension
of the FERC–521 information collection
requirements with no changes to the
reporting requirements.
Abstract: The purpose of FERC–521 is
to implement information collections
pursuant to section 10(f) of the Federal
Power Act (FPA).1 Under Section 10(f)
licensees of unlicensed non-Federal
hydroelectric power projects that are
directly benefited by a headwater
project must pay an equitable portion of
the annual costs of interest,
maintenance, and depreciation of the
headwater project. This payment is
called the headwater benefit payment.
The Commission requires basic project
information including location and
storage capacity to be filed by the owner
of any headwater project constructed by
the United States, a licensee, or a pre1920 permittee that is upstream from a
non-Federal hydroelectric project.
Type of Respondents: There are two
types of entities that respond, Federal
and Non-Federal storage and
hydropower project owners. The
Federal entities that typically respond
include the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and the U.S. Department of
Interior Bureau of Reclamation. The
Non-Federal entities may consist of any
Municipal or Non-Municipal
hydropower project owner.
Estimate of Annual Burden 2 and
cost:3 The Commission estimates the
total Public Reporting Burden for this
information collection as:

Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden and cost of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information collection;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

Neptune Pumped Storage 2, LLC;
Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications
On May 8, 2023, Neptune Pumped
Storage 2, 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 Soldier Camp Pumped Storage
Project (or project). The project would
be located on Lobster Creek in Curry
County, OR, approximately 4 miles
north of the Rogue River. 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.
Neptune Pumped Storage 2, LLC has
proposed to construct: (1) an upper
reservoir with a surface area of 50 acres
and a storage volume of approximately
3,000 acre-feet created by a 5,600-footlong, 70-foot-high rockfill embankment
explanation of what is included in the information
collection burden, refer to 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.

ring dike; (2) a lower reservoir with a
surface area of 50 acres and a storage
volume of approximately 3,000 acre-feet
created by a 5,700-foot-long, 70-foothigh rockfill embankment ring dike; (3)
a 1,825 foot-long steel and concrete
penstock with a diameter of 22-feet; (4)
a 550-foot-long, 120-foot-wide concrete
powerhouse/pump station located on
the lower reservoir shoreline containing
6 generating/pumping units for a total
generating capacity of 550 MW; (5) an
approximate 13-mile, 230-kilovolt (kV)
transmission line from a proposed
substation near the powerhouse to an
existing substation on Nesika Beach
Dump Rd that would interconnect to the
regional transmission grid; (6) an
approximately 1.7-mile-long
underground pipeline with a 100 cfs
capacity and a diameter of 2.5-feet
diverting water from Lobster Creek for
initial fill and annual maintenance fill;
and, (7) appurtenant facilities. The
proposed project would be operated as
a closed-loop system and generate an
estimated annual average of 1,606
gigawatt-hours.
