[Project No. 14061–000] 

Arizona Independent Power, Inc.; 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

On January 12, 2011, Arizona 

Independent Power, 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 the Verde Pumped Storage 

Project (project) to be located within the 

Colorado River region, near Maricopa 

County, Arizona. 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 roller compacted 

concrete dam (upper reservoir) having a 

total storage capacity of 13,900 acre-feet 

at a normal maximum operating 

elevation of 3,040 feet msl; (2) a roller 

compacted concrete dam (lower 

reservoir) having a total storage capacity 

of 13,900 acre-feet at a normal 

maximum operating elevation of 1,800 

feet mean sea level (msl); (3) two 

12,160-foot-long, 19-foot-diameter 

penstocks; (4) a powerhouse with 

approximate dimensions of 750 feet 

long by 70 feet wide by 175 feet high, 

housing three to 267 megawatt Francis 

pump turbines and motor generators 

units; (5) two 3,000-foot-long, 21-footdiameter tailraces; (6) a twin circuit, 40- 

mile-long, 500-kilovolt transmission 

line extending to the existing 

transmission line rights-of-way owned 

by the Arizona Public Service Company 

or Salt River Project. The estimated 

annual generation of the Verde Pumped 

Storage Project would be 1,078 gigawatthours.

Commission 

[Docket No. CP11–187–000] 

Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP; 

Notice of Request Under Blanket 

Authorization 

Take notice that on April 11, 2011, 

Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP (Gulf 

South), 9 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2800, 

Houston, Texas 77046, pursuant to its 

blanket certificate issued in Docket No. 

CP82–430–000,1 filed an application in 

accordance to sections 157.205(b), and 

157.208(f)(2) of the Commission’s 

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA) as amended, requesting to 

increase the pipeline capacity and 

maximum operating pressure of its 

Mobile Bay Lateral (Index 880) in 

Mobile County, Alabama, all as more 

fully set forth in the application, which 

is on file with the Commission and open 

to public inspection. 

Gulf South proposes to increase the 

south-bound capacity of its Index 880 

by 54 MMcf/day to 304,000 MMcf/day 

by increasing the maximum operating 

pressure on the lateral from 976 to 982 

psig. This increase in capacity will 

provide Gulf South’s shippers the added 

flexibility to nominate additional 

deliveries into Florida markets through 

the Gulfstream Interconnect. Increasing 

the capacity by increasing the maximum 

operating pressure of the Index 880 will 

provide Gulf South with a timely and 

cost effective method of increasing firm 

transportation capacity to additional 

Florida markets. Gulf South states that 

its proposal will not have any adverse 

effects on the processing plant’s 

operations. 

Any questions concerning this 

application may be directed to J. Kyle 

Stephens, Vice President, Regulatory 

Affairs, Gulf South Pipeline Company, 

LP, 9 Greenway Plaza, Suite 2800,
