On May 22, 2009, FFP Project 71, 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 Matthews Bend Hydrokinetic

Project, to be located on the Mississippi River, in Chicot County,

Arkansas and Washington County, Mississippi.
