Twin Lakes Canal Company; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On March 8, 2012, Twin Lakes Canal Company filed an application for 
a successive preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Bear 
River Narrows Project (project) to be located on Bear River, in 
Franklin County, Idaho. 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 project would consist of the following: (1) A 700-
foot-long, 108-foot-high embankment dam; (2) a reservoir having a 
surface area of 420 acres, having a storage capacity of 17,300 acre-
feet and normal water surface elevation of 4,734 feet mean sea level; 
(3) a powerhouse containing two generating units with a total installed 
capacity of 11 megawatts; (4) a 0.8-mile-long transmission line; and 
(5) appurtenant facilities. The applicant estimates that the average 
annual generation would be 51 gigawatt-hours, which would be sold to a 
local utility.
    Applicant Contact: Mr. Clair Boesen, Twin Lakes Canal Company, P.O. 
Box 247, 2 North State Street, Preston, Idaho 83263; phone: (208) 852-
0415.
    FERC Contact: Shana Murray; phone: (202) 502-8333.
    Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, competing

of 18 CFR 4.36. Comments, motions to intervene, notices of intent, and 
competing applications may be filed electronically via the Internet.
