Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 15317–000] 

Littoral Power Systems, Inc.; Notice of 

Preliminary Permit Application 

Accepted for Filing and Soliciting 

Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 

Competing Applications 

On June 28, 2023, Littoral Power 

Systems, Inc. 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 

Upper Cook Inlet Tidal Energy Project to 

be located in Cook Inlet, Alaska 

approximately 17 miles north-northwest 

of Kenai, Alaska and 9.5 miles 

northwest of Nikiski, Alaska. The sole 

purpose of a preliminary permit 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 project would consist of axial 

hydrokinetic turbines installed 

underwater at or proximate to one or 

more of four existing decommissioned 

natural gas drilling platforms (Baker, 

Shell-A, Shell-C, and Dillon) located 

within the Upper Cook Inlet. The 

drilling platforms, which are owned and 

operated by Hilcorp Alaska, LLC, would 

be the prime anchoring structures for 

the hydrokinetic equipment that would 

convert the energy of Cook Inlet’s tidal 

currents into electrical power. The 

electrical energy would be transmitted 

via a new 25kV submarine cable to an 

existing onshore substation (the Bernice 

Lake substation owned by the Homer 

Electric Association, Inc.) located about 

1.5 miles east-northeast of the East 

Foreland Lighthouse on the Kenai 

Peninsula. The length of the subsea 

cable from the drilling platforms to land 

would be between 3.5 and 5 miles, 

depending on the selected route, and 

the length of the land transmission line 

to the substation would be between 2 

and 3 miles. Each hydrokinetic turbine 

would have a generating capacity of 1 

megawatt (MW). The project would 

produce from 5,000 to 6,000 megawatthours (MWh) per year initially.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP22–480–001] 

MIGC LLC; Notice of Request for 

Extension of Time 

Take notice that on August 28, 2023, 

MIGC LLC (MIGC) requested that the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

(Commission) grant an extension of time 

(2023 Extension of Time Request), until 

September 10, 2024, to abandon certain 

compressor facilities and associated 

mainline capacity at its Python 

Compressor Station located in Converse 

County, Wyoming, in the Prior Notice 

Request for Authorization Under 

Blanket Certificate (Prior Notice) under 

Docket No. CP22–480–000. The Prior 

Notice requested authorization to 

abandon certain compressor facilities 

and associated mainline capacity at its 

Python Compressor Station located in 

Converse County, Wyoming. On July 11, 

2022, the Commission issued a Notice of 

Request Under Blanket Authorization, 

which established a 60-day comment 

period, ending on September 9, 2022, to 

file protests. No protests were filed 

during the comment period, and 

accordingly the project was authorized 

on September 10, 2022 and by Rule 

should have been completed within one 

year. 

In its 2023 Extension of Time Request, 

MIGC states that it is determining 

whether retention of all or a portion of 

the facilities and associated capacity 

authorized for abandonment may be 

necessary to meet changing market 

demands. MIGC explains that a recent 

shift in market conditions was 

unanticipated and presents an 

extenuating circumstance that may 

require the continued use of MIGC’s 

compressor facilities at its Python 

Compressor Station. Although, MIGC 

stated in the Prior Notice request that 

local production of natural gas in the 

area that MIGC operates in Wyoming 

has been steadily declining over the past 

ten years, recent market conditions 

suggest that retaining the capacity 

associated with the Python Compressor 

Station may be the most efficient way to 

serve changing market needs while 

providing the least amount of 

environmental impact. 

This notice establishes a 15-calendar 

day intervention and comment period 

deadline. Any person wishing to 

comment on MIGC’s request for an 

extension of time may do so. No reply 

comments or answers will be 

considered. If you wish to obtain legal 

status by becoming a party to the 

proceedings for this request, you 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file a motion to intervene 

in accordance with the requirements of 

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the Natural 

Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). 

As a matter of practice, the 

Commission itself generally acts on 

requests for extensions of time to 

complete construction for Natural Gas 

Act facilities when such requests are 

contested before order issuance. For 

those extension requests that are 

contested,1 the Commission will aim to 

issue an order acting on the request 

within 45 days.2 The Commission will 

address all arguments relating to 

whether the applicant has demonstrated 

there is good cause to grant the 

extension.3 The Commission will not 

consider arguments that re-litigate the 

issuance of the certificate order, 

including whether the Commission 

properly found the project to be in the 

public convenience and necessity and 

whether the Commission’s 

environmental analysis for the 

certificate complied with the National 

Environmental Policy Act.4 At the time 

a pipeline requests an extension of time, 

orders on certificates of public 

convenience and necessity are final and 

the Commission will not re-litigate their 

issuance.5 The OEP Director, or his or 

her designee, will act on all of those 

extension requests that are uncontested.

of this document in the Federal 

Register, The Commission provides all 

interested persons an opportunity to
