Marine Power & Water, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

May 7, 2009.
    On January 6, 2009, Marine Power & Water, Inc. filed an 
application, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of the Colorado River Indian Tribes 
Irrigation District Hydrokinetic Power Project, located in La Paz 
County, Arizona. 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 be located in an irrigation canal 
downstream from the Parker Irrigation Diversion Dam on the Colorado 
River, within the Colorado River Indian Tribe Reservation, 3 miles 
southwest of the City of Parker, Arizona, and would consist of: (1) One 
hydrokinetic electrical generating unit, with a total installed 
capacity of 15 kilowatts, (2) an existing 200-volt primary transmission 
line at check 19 that interconnects with the Western Area Power 
Administration, and (3) appurtenant facilities. The electricity 
generated from the project would be used by the Colorado River Indian 
Tribe Reservation. The project uses no dam or impoundment.
