FFP Qualified Hydro 18 LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

December 29, 2009.
    On September 8, 2009, FFP Qualified Hydro 18 LLC filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the John 
Rankin Lock and Dam Hydroelectric Project, located on the Tennessee-
Tombigbee Waterway, in Itawamba County, Mississippi. 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) A 30-ft by 250-ft long power canal; (2) a 40-ft by 40-ft 
powerhouse; (3) a new 3 MVA substation; (4) a 200-ft long transmission 
line; (5) 100 feet of new access roads; and (6) appurtenant facilities. 
The proposed John Rankin Lock and Dam Hydroelectric Project would have 
an average annual generation of 9.5 gigawatt-hours.
    Applicant Contact: Ramya Swaminathan, Free Flow Power Corporation, 
33 Commercial Street, Gloucester, MA 01930.
    FERC Contact: Allyson Conner, 202-502-6082.
    Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, competing 
applications (without notices of intent), or notices of intent to file 
competing applications: 60 days from the issuance of this notice. 
Comments, motions to intervene, notices of intent, and competing 
applications may be filed electronically via the Internet. See 18 CFR
