          - [Project No. 12731–004]

On March 2, 2010, and revised on April 7, 2010, Natural Currents Energy Services, 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 Angoon Kootznahoo—Killisnoo Tidal Energy Project, located in Kootznahoo Inlet on the western shore of Admiralty Island, near the City of Angoon in the Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon Census Area of southeastern Alaska. 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 include two developments; a 200-kilowatt-(kW) development in Kootznahoo Inlet and a 200-kW-development at Killisnoo Island. Each development would consist of: (1) A moored test platform or dock, or underwater tethering device, pending evaluation of specific site conditions; (2) eight 25-kW Red Hawk in-stream turbine modules with a total generating capacity of 200 kW; (3) an approximately 650-foot-long, 480-volt underwater transmission line connecting the Red Hawk modules to an existing above-ground local distribution system; and (4) appurtenant facilities. The project would have a total installed capacity of 400 kW and an estimated average annual generation of 1,600 megawatt-hours.
