DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 14568-002]

CB Energy Park, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted For Filing And Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, And
Competing Applications

    On June 1, 2017, CB Energy Park, 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 Coffin Butte Pumped Storage
Project (project) to be located near Two Dot in Wheatland and Meagher
Counties, Montana. 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 the following:

Lower Reservoir

    (1) A 5,000-foot-long, 50-foot-high earth and roller compacted
concrete embankment; (2) a 50-acre lower reservoir with a storage
capacity of 2,500-acre-foot at an elevation of 5,200 feet; (3) a
temporary pump and pipeline to bring initial fill water to the lower
reservoir from Martinsdale Reservoir; (4) a new well; (5) a powerhouse
containing two Ternary 125-megawatt (MW) turbine/generator units, for a
total installed capacity of 250 MW; and (6) an approximately 10-mile-
long, 230-kilovolt transmission line connecting to the proposed Gordon
Butte substation.

Upper Reservoir

    (1) A 4,600-foot-long, 50-foot-high earth and roller compacted
concrete embankment; (2) a 50-acre upper reservoir with a storage
capacity of 2,500-acre-foot at an elevation of 6,240 feet; (3) a 12-
foot-diameter, 4,000-foot-long steel-lined tunnel connecting the two
reservoirs; and (4) appurtenant facilities.
    The estimated annual generation of the project would be 880,000
megawatt-hours.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

Use of Advanced Information Technologies To Monitor Compliance
With Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), USDOT.

ACTION: Notice of Policy Change.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the motor carrier community of policy
changes regarding the FMCSA's use of advanced information technology.

DATES: Effective Date: This change in policy is effective December 19,
2008.

and Compliance Division, MC-ECE, Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave, SE., Washington, DC 20590.

Background

Current Policy

    In 1997, the FMCSA issued a policy memorandum which limited the use
of advanced technology during Agency investigations regarding motor
carrier compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
The Agency recognized the technologies, which were emerging and being
implemented within the industry in 1997, offered positive opportunity
to advance operational safety performance. Therefore, the Agency
decided to

initiate the 1997 policy limiting the use of technology data and
electronically produced records during reviews and for regulatory
enforcement purposes, in order to promote and encourage the use of
these new technologies by the industry. This policy afforded the
industry the opportunity to fully integrate the technology in its
operations and overall safety management system.
    After more than a decade since the Agency established its policy,
the use of advanced technology has become widely accepted and an
integral component of the industry's logistics and operations
management systems. The Agency's policy achieved its purpose; the once
emerging technologies are today a common and essential component of the
industry's logistics, operations and safety management systems to
achieve the safe and efficient transportation of passengers and
freight. Therefore, with this notice, the FMCSA rescinds the 1997
policy on Advanced Information Technology.

    Issued on: November 13, 2008.

Associate Administrator, Field Operations.
