Dashields Hydro, LLC......................  Project No. 13779-000
 

    On May 18, 2010, at 8:30 a.m., the Commission received three 
preliminary permit applications for proposed projects to be located at 
the Dashields Lock & Dam located on the Ohio River in Alleghany County, 
Pennsylvania.\1\ The applications were filed by Lock Hydro Friends Fund 
XXXV, for Project No. 13735-000, FFP Missouri 7, LLC, for Project No. 
13756-000, and Dashields Hydro, LLC, for Project No. 13779-000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Commission is open each day from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., 
except Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. 18 CFR 375.101(c) (2010). 
The applications were filed between 5 p.m. on Monday May 17, 2010, 
and 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday May 18, 2010. Under the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure, any document received after regular 
business hours is considered filed at 8:30 a.m. on the next regular 
business day. 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(2) (2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Where all permit applicants are municipalities or all permit 
applicants are non-municipalities, and no applicant's plans are better 
adapted than the others' to develop, conserve, and utilize in the 
public interest the water resources of a region, the Commission issues 
a permit to the applicant who filed first in time.\2\ In this case, 
because three 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 no applicant's plans are better adapted 
than the others, priority will be determined accordingly.

    \2\ 18 CFR 4.37 (2010). See, e.g., BPUS Generation Development, 
LLC, 126 FERC ] 61,132 (2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On January 27, 2011, at 10 a.m. (eastern time), the Secretary of 
the Commission, or her designee, will, by random drawing, determine the 
filing priority for the three 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 
her designee. A subsequent notice will be issued by the Secretary 
announcing the results of the drawing.
