City of Guttenberg; Notice of Successive Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On July 2, 2013, the City of Guttenberg 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 Guttenberg 
Water Power Project to be located on the Mississippi River, near the 
township of Guttenberg, in Clayton County, Iowa. 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) An 
existing 140-foot-wide by 280-foot-long auxiliary lock; (2) a new 110-
foot-wide by 250-foot-long concrete powerhouse containing four new 5-
mega-watt (MW) pit-type horizontal turbine units for a total capacity 
of 20 MW; (3) an existing local step-up transformer; (4) a new 300-
foot-long, 69-kilovolt (kV) transmission line extending from the local 
transformer to the local grid (the point of interconnection) which is 
owned and operated by the City of Guttenberg; and (5) appurtenant 
facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Guttenberg Water 
Power Project would be 63,400 megawatt-hours.

Box 580, 502 S. 1st Street, Guttenberg, IA 52052-0580; phone: (563)
