Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 158 / Tuesday, August 16, 2011 / Notices 50725 

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 reach a final 

decision on a request for federal 

authorization within 90 days of the date 

of issuance of the Commission staff’s 

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 

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 commenters 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 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 (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. See, 

18 CFR 385.2001(a) (1) (iii) and the 

instructions on the Commission’s Web 

site under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link.

Riverbank Hydro No. 14, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On May 2, 2011, Riverbank Hydro No. 

14, LLC (Riverbank Hydro), 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 Tuttle Creek 

Hydroelectric Project (Tuttle Creek 

Project or project) to be located at the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps) 

Tuttle Creek Dam, on Big Blue River, 

near Manhattan, Riley County, Kansas. 

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 landdisturbing activities or otherwise enter 

upon lands or waters owned by others 

without the owners’ express permission. 

The proposed project would consist of 

the following: (1) A 350-foot-long, 16- 

foot-diameter penstock bifurcating from 

the existing outlet structure; (2) a 100- 

foot-long, 50-foot-wide concrete 

powerhouse containing one turbine 

with a generator rating of 7.9 megawatts; 

(3) a tailrace structure directing flows 

from the powerhouse back into the river 

channel downstream of the existing 

dam; (4) a 2.8-mile-long, 25-kilovolt 

transmission line connecting the project 

to an existing transmission line; and (5) 

appurtenant facilities. The estimated 

annual generation of the Tuttle Creek 

Project would be 30.5 gigawatt-hours.
