BPUS Generation Development LLC; Notice of Application for 
Preliminary Permit Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions 
To Intervene, and Protests

January 9, 2009.
    On October 2, 2008, BPUS Generation Development LLC filed an 
application, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 
to study the proposed Duffey Lakes Pumped Storage Project. The proposed 
project would be located in Snohomish and King Counties, Washington. 
The project facilities would be partially located on federal lands 
administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The 
Commission issued a public notice of the application on November 13, 
2008; however, due to an inadvertent error, the notice did not run in 
the local newspapers. The Federal Power Act legally requires the 
Commission to issue a public notice in a local newspaper once a week 
for four weeks. Therefore, we are reissuing the public notice in order 
to allow the notice to run in a local newspaper in Washington.
    The proposed project would consist of: (1) An expanded Duffey Lakes 
as the upper reservoir; (2) an expanded Lake Cavanaugh as the lower 
reservoir; (3) a new powerhouse containing four pump/turbine-generator 
units with a combined capacity of 1,150 megawatts (MW); (4) a new 
intake structure, headrace tunnel, and two tailraces; (5) a new 5.0-
mile-long, 500-kilovolt transmission line, and (6) appurtenant 
facilities. The proposed project would have an average annual 
generation of 3,293 gigawatt-hours (GWh).
