the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest.

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commenters will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commenters 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order.

[Project No. 13573–000] 

City of Hamilton; Notice of Competing 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments and Motions To Intervene 

September 25, 2009. 

On August 31, 2009, the City of 

Hamilton, Ohio, filed an application for 

a preliminary permit, pursuant to 

section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

Greenup Hydrokinetic Project, located 

immediately downstream from the 

Greenup Lock and Dam on the Ohio 

River, in Scioto 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 project would consist 

of: (1) A 100 to 300-foot-long by 20 to 

50-foot-wide barge anchored to the 

riverbed; (2) 10 6 to 8-foot-diameter by 

20-foot-long turbine-generators attached 

to the barge; (3) high-voltage cables 

transmitting the generated power to the 

existing transmission line located near 

the Project; and (4) appurtenant 

facilities. The proposed project would 

generate about 1,533 megawatt-hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BPA was 

established in 1937 as a Federal Power 

Marketing Agency in the Pacific 

Northwest. BPA operations are financed 

from power revenues rather than annual 

appropriations. BPA’s purchasing 

operations are conducted under 16 

U.S.C. 832 et seq. and related statutes. 

Pursuant to these special authorities, the 

BPI is promulgated as a statement of 

purchasing policy and as a body of 

interpretative regulations governing the 

conduct of BPA purchasing activities. It 

is significantly different from the 

Federal Acquisition Regulation, and 

reflects BPA’s private sector approach to 

purchasing the goods and services that 

it requires. BPA’s financial assistance 

operations are conducted under 16 

U.S.C. 839 et seq. and 16 U.S.C. 839 et 

seq. The BFAI express BPA’s financial 

assistance policy. The BFAI also 

comprise BPA’s rules governing
