Lock+TM Hydro Friends Fund XXXV 

Riverbank Hydro No. 4, LLC; Notice of 

Competing Preliminary Permit 

Applications Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

On April 1, 2011, Lock+TM Hydro 

Friends Fund XXXV (Hydro Friends) 

and Riverbank Hydro No. 4, LLC 

(Riverbank Hydro) filed preliminary 

permit applications, pursuant to section 

4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing 

to study the feasibility of a hydropower 

project at the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers’ (Corps) Lock and Dam No. 5, 

located on the Mississippi River near 

Minnesota City, Minnesota, in Winona 

County, Minnesota, and Buffalo County, 

Wisconsin. 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. 

Hydro Friends’ proposed Project 

Oscar Project No. 14136–000 would 

consist of: (1) A 109-foot-wide, 40-foothigh lock frame module placed in a new 

gate constructed in the downstream 

portion of an inactive, incomplete 

auxiliary lock of the Lock and Dam No. 

5; (2) a 109-foot-wide, 40-foot-high lock 

frame module placed east of the 

movable section of the Lock and Dam 

No. 5 in an existing levee of the east 

abutment; (3) a new switchyard and 

control room located on the eastern side 

of the dam; and (4) a new 3-mile-long, 

115-kilovolt transmission line extending 

from the switchyard to a nearby 

distribution line which would feed the 

project power to the grid. Each lock 

frame module would consist of ten 7- 

foot-diameter hydropower turbines each 

rated at 650 kilowatts (kW) based on a 

design head of 9 feet with a total rated 

capacity per module of 6.5 megawatts 

(MW) resulting in a total project 

installed capacity of 13 MW. Each 

module would be equipped with fish/ 

debris screens located upstream of each 

module and control door assemblies 

that can open and close off flow to the 

units when needed. The project’s 

average annual generation would be 

79,770 megawatt-hours (MWh), and the 

project would operate run-of-release.

Riverbank Hydro’s Mississippi 5 

Hydroelectric Project No. 14139–000 

would consist of: (1) A forebay and 

intake structure equipped with a 

trashrack constructed upstream of the 

powerhouse on the east section of the 

dam in the existing levee of the east 

abutment; (2) a reinforced concrete 

powerhouse containing five turbinegenerators each with a rating of 4,000 

kW for a total project installed capacity 

of 20 MW; (3) a tailrace directing river 

flows back into the Mississippi River; 

and (4) a 13.1-mile-long, 69-kV 

transmission line feeding the project 

power to an existing transmission line. 

The intake, powerhouse, and tailrace 

dimensions would be determined 

during the permit period. The project’s 

average annual generation would be 

87,000 MWh at a head range of 5.0 to 

9.5 feet, and the project would operate 

run-of-release.

[ Project No. 739–000] 

Appalachian Power Company; Notice 

of Authorization for Continued Project 

Operation 

On June 29 2009, The Appalachian 

Power Company, licensee for the 

Claytor Hydroelectric Project, filed an 


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 153 / Tuesday, August 9, 2011 / Notices 48841 

Application for a New License pursuant 

to the Federal Power Act (FPA) and the 

Commission’s regulations thereunder. 

The Claytor Hydroelectric Project is 

located on the New River in Pulaski 

County, Virginia. 

The license for Project No. 739 was 

issued for a period ending June 30, 

2011. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16 

U.S.C. 808(a)(1), requires the 

Commission, at the expiration of a 

license term, to issue from year-to-year 

an annual license to the then licensee 

under the terms and conditions of the 

prior license until a new license is 

issued, or the project is otherwise 

disposed of as provided in section 15 or 

any other applicable section of the FPA. 

If the project’s prior license waived the 

applicability of section 15 of the FPA, 

then, based on section 9(b) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 

558(c), and as set forth at 18 CFR 

16.21(a), if the licensee of such project 

has filed an application for a subsequent 

license, the licensee may continue to 

operate the project in accordance with 

the terms and conditions of the license 

after the minor or minor part license 

expires, until the Commission acts on 

its application. If the licensee of such a 

project has not filed an application for 

a subsequent license, then it may be 

required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b), 

to continue project operations until the 

Commission issues someone else a 

license for the project or otherwise 

orders disposition of the project. 

If the project is subject to section 15 

of the FPA, notice is hereby given that 

an annual license for Project No. 739 is 

issued to the Appalachian Power 

Company for a period effective July 1, 

2011 through June 30, 2012, or until the 

issuance of a new license for the project 

or other disposition under the FPA, 

whichever comes first. If issuance of a 

new license (or other disposition) does 

not take place on or before June 30, 

2012, notice is hereby given that, 

pursuant to 18 CFR 16.18(c), an annual 

license under section 15(a)(1) of the 

FPA is renewed automatically without 

further order or notice by the 

Commission, unless the Commission 

orders otherwise. 

If the project is not subject to section 

15 of the FPA, notice is hereby given 

that the Appalachian Power Company is 

authorized to continue operation of the 

Claytor Hydroelectric Project, until such 

time as the Commission acts on its 

application for a subsequent license.

Liberty Gas Storage, LLC; Notice of 

Filing 

Take notice that on July 25, 2011, 

Liberty Gas Storage, LLC (Liberty) 

submitted a request for confirmation 

that it is not required to file FERC Form 

No. 2–A and will not be applicable until 

such time as the actual volume 

transactions on Liberty exceed 200,000 

Dth for three consecutive calendar 

years. Liberty argues that given the low 

levels of total volume transactions on 

Liberty’s pipeline system during the 

preceding three calendar years, Liberty 

does not meet the threshold for filing a 

Form 2–A. Liberty, in fact, has never 

met this threshold since it placed its 

initial facilities into service in 2007. 

Since the Form No. 3–Q filing 

requirement is applicable only when a 

natural gas company is obligated to file 

a Form 2–A, Liberty likewise believes 

that it is not required to file a Form No. 

3–Q under present circumstances. 

Liberty requests the issuance of an order 

or other determination on this request 

for confirmation by September 1, 2011, 

which is the requested effective date for 

new, cost-based rates on Liberty’s 

system. 

Any person desiring to intervene or to 

protest this filing must file in 

accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of 

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 or 385.214). 

Protests will be considered by the 

Commission in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken, but will 

not serve to make protestants parties to 

the proceeding. Any person wishing to 

become a party must file a notice of 

intervention or motion to intervene, as 

appropriate. Such notices, motions, or 

protests must be filed on or before the 

comment date. On or before the 

comment date, it is not necessary to 

serve motions to intervene or protests 

on persons other than the Applicant. 

The Commission encourages 

electronic submission of 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.
