Mississippi 17 Hydro, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions to 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

May 11, 2010.
    On April 5, 2010, Mississippi 17 Hydro, 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 Mississippi River Lock 
and Dam 17 Hydroelectric Project, located on the Mississippi 
River, in Louisa County, Iowa. 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: (1) The powerhouse; (2) 
installation of four 4.9 megawatt bulb turbines; (3) a proposed 5.7-
mile-long, 69-kilovolt transmission line; (4) switchyard; and (5) 
appurtenant facilities. The proposed Mississippi River Lock and Dam 
17 Hydroelectric Project would have an average annual 
generation of 80 gigawatt-hours.
    Applicant Contact: Brent L. Smith, COO, Symbiotics, LLC, P.O. Box 
535, Rigby, Idaho 83442; phone: (208) 745-0834.

    The deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, competing 
applications (without notices of intent), or notices of intent to file 
competing applications is 60 days from the issuance of this notice. 
Competing applications and notices of intent must meet the requirements 
of 18 CFR 4.36. Comments, motions to intervene, notices of intent, and 
competing applications may be filed electronically via the Internet.
