SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE) has submitted an information 

collection request to the OMB for 

extension under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The 

information collection requests a threeyear extension of its Human Reliability 

Program (HRP), OMB Control Number 

1910–5122. This information collection

apply for or occupy certain positions 

that are critical to the national security. 

It requires an initial and annual 

supervisory review, medical assessment, 

management evaluation, and a DOE 

personnel security review of all 

applicants or incumbents. It is also used 

to ensure that employees assigned to 

nuclear explosive duties do not have 

emotional, mental, or physical 

conditions that could result in an 

accidental or unauthorized detonation 

of nuclear explosives.

Comments and Motions To Intervene 

January 15, 2010. 

On August 25, 2009, Issaquena 

County Board of Supervisors filed an 

application for a preliminary permit, 

pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal 

Power Act, proposing to study the 

feasibility of the Fitler Bend 

Hydrokinetic Project, to be located on 

the Mississippi River, in East Carroll 

Parish, Louisiana and Issaquena County, 

Mississippi. 

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 Fitler Bend 

Hydrokinetic Project consists of: (1) 25 

proposed 200 kilowatt Underwater 

Electric Kite generating units having a 

total installed capacity of 5 megawatts, 

mounted to a 200-foot-long by 80-footwide barge; (2) a 7-mile-long, 115 

kilovolt transmission line; and (3) 

appurtenant facilities. The proposed 

Fitler Bend Hydrokinetic Project would 

have an average annual generation of 

43.8 gigawatt-hours.
