Commission 

[Project No. 15044–000] 

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, 110- 

foot-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 630- 

foot-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 75- 

foot-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.

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 

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
