Lock + TM Hydro Friends Fund XI, 

LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

August 7, 2009. 

On June 2, 2009, Lock + TM Hydro 

Friends Fund XI, LLC, filed an 

application, pursuant to section 4(f) of 

the Federal Power Act, proposing to 

study the feasibility of the Mean Green 

Hydroelectric Project, to be located on 

the Mississippi River, in Jackson 

County, Iowa and Jo Daviess County, 

Illinois. 

The proposed Mean Green Project 

would be located at the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers Mississippi River 

Lock and Dam No. 12, near Bellevue, 

Iowa. 

The proposed project would consist 

of: (1) One new underwater frame 

module containing nine turbines with a 

total installed capacity of about 6.4 

megawatts which would be installed in 

the Corps’ unused auxiliary lock located 

adjacent to the Corps’ active lock; (2) a 

new removable lock door; (3) a new 

switchyard, transformer, and control 

room which would be located on the 

Iowa side of the river; (4) a new 1000- 

foot-long, 36.7 kilovolt transmission 

line, which would deliver power from 

the turbines to an existing transformer 

tie-in bus located at the Corps’ lock and 

dam facilities; and (5) appurtenant 

facilities. The Mean Green Project 

would have an estimated average annual 

generation of about 53,039 megawattshours, which would be sold to a local 

utility.

Commission 

[Docket No. CP09–447–000] 

Natural Gas Pipeline Company of 

America LLC; Notice of Application 

August 6, 2009. 

Take notice that on July 22, 2009, 

Natural Gas Pipeline Company of 

America (Natural), 3250 Lacey Road, 

Downers Grove, Illinois 60515–7918, 

filed an application in Docket No. 

CP09–447–000, pursuant to sections 

7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission’s 

regulations, requesting: (1) A certificate 

of public convenience and necessity 

authorizing Natural to construct, 

ultimately own, and operate two 5.55- 

mile segments of 30-inch line and one 

5.55-mile segment of 36-inch line in 

Panola County, Texas and (2) 

permission and approval to abandon by 

exchange and transfer to Luminant 

Mining Company LLC (Luminant) two 

4.3-mile segments of 30-inch line and 

one 4.3-mile segment of 36-inch line. 

The proposal seeks to allow Luminant 

to construct rerouted replacement line 

segments to be exchanged for Natural’s 

existing line segments located in an area 

where Luminant has mining operations 

(Natural Pipeline Relocation Project). 

The project costs are approximately 

$29.7 million and are to be borne by 

Luminant. 

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to Bruce 

H. Newsome, Vice President, Natural 

Gas Pipeline Company of America LLC, 

3250 Lacey Road, 7th Floor, Downers 

Grove, Illinois 60515–7918, telephone:

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

14 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 157 / Monday, August 17, 2009 / Notices 41423 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commentors will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http:// 

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit an original 

and 14 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First 

Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

This filing is accessible on-line at 

http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is available for 

review in the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room in Washington, DC. 

There is an ‘‘eSubscription’’ link on the 

Web site that enables subscribers to 

receive e-mail notification when a 

document is added to a subscribed 

docket(s). For assistance with any FERC 

Online service, please e-mail
