BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 14800-000] Lock 9 Hydro Partners; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments and Motions To Intervene On September 1, 2016, Lock 9 Hydro Partners filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Valley View Hydroelectric Station Project (project) to be located at the Kentucky River Authority's Lock and Dam 9 on the Kentucky River in Jessamine and Madison Counties, Kentucky.

(1)The existing 242-foot-long, 35-foot-high concrete lock and dam;
(2)the existing 343-acre reservoir having a storage capacity of 6,550-acre-feet;
(3)twelve proposed 50-foot-long, 63-inch-diameter siphoning penstocks encased in concrete;

(5)a proposed 30-foot-long, 48-foot-wide on-shore building to house project controls; and
