[Docket No. RM98–1–000] 

Records Governing Off-the-Record 

Communications; Public Notice 

This constitutes notice, in accordance 

with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of the receipt 

of prohibited and exempt off-the-record 

communications. 

Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, 

September 22, 1999) requires 

Commission decisional employees, who 

make or receive a prohibited or exempt 

off-the-record communication relevant 

to the merits of a contested proceeding, 

to deliver to the Secretary of the 

Commission, a copy of the 

communication, if written, or a 

summary of the substance of any oral 

communication. 

Prohibited communications are 

included in a public, non-decisional file 

associated with, but not a part of, the 

decisional record of the proceeding. 

Unless the Commission determines that 

the prohibited communication and any 

responses thereto should become a part 

of the decisional record, the prohibited 

off-the-record communication will not 

be considered by the Commission in 

reaching its decision. Parties to a 

proceeding may seek the opportunity to 

respond to any facts or contentions 

made in a prohibited off-the-record 

communication and may request that 

the Commission place the prohibited 

communication and responses thereto 

in the decisional record. The 

Commission will grant such a request 

only when it determines that fairness so 

requires. Any person identified below as 

having made a prohibited off-the-record 

communication shall serve the 

document on all parties listed on the 

official service list for the applicable 

proceeding in accordance with Rule 

2010, 18 CFR 385.2010. 

Exempt off-the-record 

communications are included in the 

decisional record of the proceeding, 

unless the communication was with a 

cooperating agency as described by 40 

CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR 

385.2201(e)(1)(v). 

The following is a list of off-therecord communications recently 

received by the Secretary of the 

Commission. This filing may be viewed

[Project No. 15326–000] 

Kram Hydro 1, LLC; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On September 25, 2023, Kram Hydro 

1, LLC, filed an application for a 

preliminary permit, pursuant to section 

4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 

proposing to study the feasibility of a 

hydropower project proposed to be 

located at the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers’ (Corps) Joe Hardin Lock and 

Dam on Arkansas River, near the City of 

Grady, in Lincoln and Jefferson 

counties, Arkansas. 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 Joe Hardin Lock and 

Dam Hydroelectric Project would 

consist of the following: (1) a 90-footwide, 200–350-foot-long armored intake 

channel, upstream of the powerhouse; 

(2) a 180-foot-long, 100-foot-wide 

concrete powerhouse located 

downstream of the existing Corps dam

identical Kaplan turbine-generator 

units, with a combined generating 

capacity of 20.0 megawatts; (3) a 200- 

foot-long, 100-foot wide unlined 

tailrace; (4) a 300-foot-long concrete 

retaining wall to be constructed 

downstream of the powerhouse; and (5) 

a 6-mile-long, 115 kilovolt transmission 

line. The proposed project would have 

an estimated annual generation of 127 

gigawatt-hours.
