obtaining a preliminary permit is to
maintain priority status for an
application for a license while the
applicant conducts site examinations
and surveys to inform a decision on
whether to pursue a license for the
project, and if so, prepare a license
application. A preliminary permit
neither authorizes construction of any
facilities, nor provides the use of
eminent domain to acquire lands for the
project. No application for a preliminary
permit or license submitted by another
party can be accepted during the permit
term. The FERC–512 is an application
for a preliminary permit or to extend a
preliminary permit term. Commission
staff review preliminary permit
applications to assess the scope of the
proposed project, the technology to be
used, and jurisdictional aspects of the
project. The staff assessment includes a
review of the proposed hydro
development for conflicts with other
current permits or licensed projects, and
issuance of public notice of the permit
application to solicit public and agency
comments. An application for a
