Rockhouse Mountain Energy, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

January 9, 2009.
    On June 13, 2008, Rockhouse Mountain Energy, LLC filed an 
application, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of the Murphy Dam Hydroelectric 
Project. The project would be located at the existing Murphy Dam owned 
by the State of New Hampshire on Lake Francis, in Coos County, New 
Hampshire. 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 New Hampshire.
    The proposed Murphy Dam Project would use the State of New 
Hampshire's Murphy Dam and would consist of: (1) A proposed 540-foot-
long, 8-foot-diameter steel penstock; (2) a proposed powerhouse 
containing one generating unit having a total installed capacity of 
2.25 MW; (3) a proposed 1.1-mile-long, 19.9/34.5-kV transmission line; 
(4) a tailrace; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project 
would have an average annual generation of 11.6 gigawatt-hours, which 
would be sold to a local utility.
