16380 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 68 / Friday, April 10, 2009 / Notices 

Power Act, proposing to study the 

feasibility of the Sonoma Coast 

Hydrokinetic Energy Project Del Mar 

Landing to be located on the Pacific 

Ocean off the coast of Sonoma County, 

California. The project uses no dam or 

impoundment. 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: (1) Approximately 5 to 10 oscillating 

water column devices and/or buoy-type 

wave energy conversion devices with an 

estimated total power output of 2 to 5 

megawatts (MW); (2) a potential 

expansion of the proposed project or 

additional projects up to 40 to 200 MW; 

(3) one or more proposed submersible 

armored submarine cables, including a 

12-kilovolt transmission line 

approximately 5 miles in length; (4) a 

potential sub-station and 1-mile-long 

transmission line, if the proposed 

project is expanded; and (5) appurtenant 

facilities. The project is estimated to 

have an annual generation of 20 

gigawatt-hours, which would be sold to 

a local utility or used by the Sonoma 

County Water Agency to offset its own 

load.

[Docket No. CP09–83–000] 

Dominion Transmission, Inc.; Notice of 

Application 

April 3, 2009. 

Take notice that on March 20, 2009, 

Dominion Transmission, Inc. (DTI), 120 

Tredegar Street, Richmond, VA 23219, 

filed an application in Docket No. 

CP09–83–000, pursuant to section 7(c) 

of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and part 

157 of the Commission’s regulations, for 

a certificate of public convenience and 

necessity to replace an existing 5,800 

horsepower (hp) compressor unit at its 

Borger Compressor Station in Tompkins 

County, New York with a 10,310 hp unit 

for the dual purposes of reducing 

emissions at the Borger Compressor 

Station, pursuant to an agreement with 

the New York State Department of 

Environmental Conservation, and 

providing incremental transportation 

service of up to 20,000 dekatherms per 

day (Dominion Hub II Project). The 

project is estimated to cost 

approximately $22.5 million. DTI 

proposes to roll-in $17.7 million of the 

total costs to reflect the costs to replace 

the existing compressor. DTI proposes 

to recover the remaining $4.8 million 

through incremental rates charged for 

the incremental firm transportation 

service. 

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to Brad 

A. Knisley, Regulatory and Certificates 

Analysis II, Dominion Transmission, 

Inc., 701 East Cary Street, Richmond, 

VA 23219, telephone no. (804) 771–

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify Federal and 

State agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

Federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below, file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

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 NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

14 copies of filings made with the 

Commission and must mail a copy to 

the applicant and to every other party in 

the proceeding. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commentors will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 68 / Friday, April 10, 2009 / Notices 16381 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http:// 

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit an original 

and 14 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First 

Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

This filing is accessible on-line at 

http://www.ferc.gov, using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link and is available for 

review in the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room in Washington, DC.

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission) 

regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 

486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy

which includes the Weiss, H. Neely 

Henry, Logan Martin, Lay and Bouldin 

developments; the Mitchell 

Hydroelectric Project (P–82); and the 

Jordan Hydroelectric Project (P–618). 

Alabama Power Company has requested 

that Project Nos. 2146, 82, and 618 be 

consolidated into one project. We are 

processing these three projects under 

Project No. 2146–111. 

The Coosa River Project is located on

Alabama and Georgia. The Logan Martin 

development affects less than an acre of 

Federal lands, the Lay development 

affects 133.5 acres of Federal lands, the 

Mitchell Project affects 127.3 acres of 

Federal lands, and the Jordan Project 

affects 10.1 acres of Federal lands. Staff 

has prepared an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) for the project. 

The EA contains staff’s analysis of the
