the water resources of a region, the Commission issues a permit to the 
applicant who filed first in time.\2\ In this case, because two 
applications from entities not claiming municipal preference are deemed 
filed at the same time, the Commission will conduct a random tie 
breaker to determine priority. In the event that the Commission 
concludes that neither applicant's plans are better adapted than the 
other, priority will be determined accordingly.

    On June 8, 2010, at 2 p.m. (eastern time), the Secretary of the

filing priority for the two applicants identified in this notice. The 
drawing is open to the public and will be held in room 2C, the 
Commission Meeting Room, located at 888 First St., NE., Washington, DC 
20426. The results of the drawing will be recorded by the Secretary or
