Lock+ Hydro Friends Fund XLIX; FFP Missouri 14, LLC; Notice 
Announcing Preliminary Permit Drawing

January 12, 2011.
    On July 12, 2010, at 8:30 a.m., the Commission received two 
preliminary permit applications for proposed projects to be located at 
the New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam on the Savannah River, near 
Augusta, Georgia.\1\ The applications were filed by Lock+ Hydro Friends 
Fund XLIX, for Project No. 13808-000, and FFP Missouri 14, LLC, for 
Project No. 13813-000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Commission is open each day from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., 
except Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. 18 CFR 375.101(c) (2010). 
The applications were filed between 5 p.m. on Friday July 9, 2010, 
and 8:30 a.m. on Monday July 12, 2010. Under the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure, any document received after regular 
business hours is considered filed at 8:30 a.m. on the next regular 
business day. 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(2) (2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Where all permit applicants are municipalities or all permit 
applicants are non-municipalities, and no applicant's plans are better 
adapted than the others' to develop, conserve, and utilize in the 
public interest the water resources of a region, the Commission issues 
a permit to the applicant who filed first in time.\2\ In this case, 
because two applications from entities not claiming municipal 
preference are deemed filed at the same time, the Commission will 
conduct a random tie breaker to determine priority. In the event that 
the Commission concludes that neither applicant's plans are better 
adapted than the other, priority will be determined accordingly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 18 CFR 4.37 (2010). See, e.g., BPUS Generation Development, 
LLC, 126 FERC ] 61,132 (2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On January 18, 2011, at 2 p.m. (Eastern Time), the Secretary of the 
Commission, or her designee, will, by random drawing, determine the 
filing priority for the two applicants identified in this notice. The 
drawing is open to the public and will be held in room 2C, the 
Commission Meeting Room, located at 888 First Street, NE., Washington, 
DC 20426. The results of the drawing will be recorded by the Secretary 
or her designee. A subsequent notice will be issued by the Secretary 
announcing the results of the drawing.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
