FFP Qualified Hydro 24, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On September 28, 2010, FFP Qualified Hydro 24, LLC filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Cle 
Elum Dam Hydroelectric Project (project) to be located at the U.S. 
Bureau of Reclamation's Cle Elum dam on the Cle Elum River, near Cle 
Elum in Kittitas County, Washington. 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 utilize the Cle Elum dam and would 
consist of the following: (1) A new 1,000-foot-long, 12-foot-wide steel 
liner penstock; (2) a new 70-foot-long, 100-foot-wide reinforced 
concrete powerhouse with turbine/generating units with an installed 
capacity of 18 megawatts; (3) a new 15-megawatt substation adjacent to 
the powerhouse; (4) a new 0.75-mile-long, 34.5-kilovolt overhead 
transmission line; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual 
generation of the project would be 40 gigawatt-hours.
    Applicant Contact: Ms. Ramya Swaminathan, 33 Commercial Street, 
Gloucester, Massachusetts 01930; phone: (978) 226-1531.
    FERC Contact: Kelly Wolcott; phone: (202) 502-6480.
    Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, competing
