 Patman Power, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

    On February 28, 2014, Wright Patman Power, 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 a hydropower project 
to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) Wright 
Patman Dam, on the Sulphur River near the town of Texarkana in Bowie 
County, Texas. 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) Three 48 
inch-diameter, 300-foot-long steel penstocks; (2) three inline 
generation units with a total capacity of 4-megawatts; (3) a switchyard 
on the south bank adjacent to the dam; (4) a 1-mile-long, 138kV 
transmission line.
    The project would have an average annual generation of 10,000 
megawatt-hours and operate utilizing surplus water from the Wright 
Patman Lake, as directed by the Corps.
