Commission 

[FFP Project 48 LLC; Project No.12934–002] 

Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

On February 1, 2011, FFP Project 48 

LLC filed an application, pursuant to 

section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 

proposing to study the feasibility of 

hydropower on the Mississippi River, 

near the town of New Madrid, in New 

Madrid County, Missouri and Fulton 

County Kentucky. 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 New Madrid Bend 

hydrokinetic project would consist of 

the following: (1) Up to 5,350 

SmarTurbine generating units installed 

in arrays on the bottom of the river; (2) 

the total capacity of the installation 

would be up to 214,000 kilowatts; (3) 

flexible cables would convey each 

arrays power to a metering station; and 

(4) a transmission line would 

interconnect with the power grid. The 

proposed project would have an average 

annual generation of 468,660,000 

kilowatt-hours (kWh), which would be 

sold to a local utility.
