North Star Hydro Services, CA LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On November 6, 2012, North Star Hydro Services CA, 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 
Marble Bluff Dam Hydropower Project to be located at the U.S. Bureau of 
Reclamation's Marble Bluff dam on the Truckee River, near Nixon, Washoe 
County, Nevada. 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 applicant proposes to build a 20-foot-high by 12-foot-wide 
sluice gate east of the existing spillway of the Marble Bluff dam. Flow 
diverted at the sluice gate would be used to generate power at a new 
1,300-kilowatt powerhouse, with an associated penstock, tailrace, and 
stilling basin. The applicant estimates the powerhouse would generate 
5.62 gigawatt-hours annually.

LLC, 1110 West 131st Street South, Jenks, Oklahoma,74037; phone: (918)
