i. FERC Contact: Tom Dean, (202) 

502–6041. 

j. On April 13, 2010, Commission staff 

requested additional information from 

TideWorks, LLC including project 

operation, water velocity, and finfish 

data in the area of the proposed project. 

On May 5, 2010, TideWorks, LLC filed 

a revised final exemption application in 

response to the requested information. 

Based on a review of the exemption 

application, additional environmental 

information subsequently filed by 

TideWorks, LLC, resource agency 

consultation letters and comments filed 

to date, Commission staff intend to 

prepare a single environmental 

assessment (EA). The EA will assess the 

potential effects of project construction 

and operation on aquatic, terrestrial, 

threatened and endangered species, 

recreation, and cultural resources. 

Because staff believe the issues that 

need to be addressed in its EA have 

been adequately identified, with this 

notice, we are soliciting comments on 

our intent to waive scoping for the 

TideWorks Project. 

k. Deadline for filing motions to 

intervene, protests, and comments: 60 

days from the issuance date of this 

notice. 

All documents (original and eight 

copies) should be filed with: Kimberly 

D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First 

Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

The Commission’s Rules of Practice 

require all interveners filing documents 

with the Commission to serve a copy of 

that document on each person on the 

official service list for the project. 

Further, if an intervener files comments 

or documents with the Commission 

relating to the merits of an issue that 

may affect the responsibilities of a 

particular resource agency, they must 

also serve a copy of the document on 

that resource agency. 

Motions to intervene, protests, and 

comments may be filed electronically 

via the Internet in lieu of paper. The 

Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings. See 18 CFR 

385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions 

on the Commission’s Web site (http:// 

www.ferc.gov) under the ‘‘eFiling’’ link. 

l. This application has been accepted 

for filing, but is not ready for 

environmental analysis at this time. 

m. Description of Project: The 

proposed TideWorks Project would 

consist of: (1) A new 10-foot-wide, 20- 

foot-long steel pontoon float suspending 

into the river; (2) a new submerged 5 

kilowatt single vertical shaft 

hydrokinetic turbine generating unit 

with four 4-inch-wide, 5-foot-long 

blades; (3) a new 3.5-foot-wide, 40-footlong walkway ramp connecting the 

pontoon float to Bareneck Island; (4) a 

new 100-foot-long, 220-volt 

transmission line; and (5) appurtenant 

facilities. The project would have an 

average annual generation of about 

22,000 kilowatt-hours. The project 

would operate in a run-of-river mode 

using the river current flood and ebb 

tidal flows to rotate the hydrokinetic 

turbine generating unit. 

n. A copy of the application is 

available for review at the Commission 

in the Public Reference Room or may be 

viewed on the Commission’s Web site at 

http://www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ 

link. Enter the docket number excluding 

the three digits in the docket number

o. Anyone may submit a protest or a 

motion to intervene in accordance with 

the requirements of Rules of Practice 

and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210, 

385.211, and 385.214. In determining 

the appropriate action to take, the

to intervene in accordance with the 

Commission’s Rules may become a 

party to the proceeding. Any protests or 

motions to intervene must be received 

on or before the specified deadline date 

for the particular application.

the applicant specified in the particular 

application. 

p. Procedural schedule and final 

amendments: The application will be 

processed according to the following 

Hydro Licensing Schedule. Revisions to 

the schedule will be made as 

appropriate. The Commission staff 

proposes to issue one EA rather than 

issue a draft and final EA. Comments,

recommendations, prescriptions, and 

reply comments, if any, will be 

addressed in an EA.

Final amendments to the application

paper-filed. To paper-file, mail an 

original and eight copies to: Kimberly D. 

Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First 

Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

The Commission’s Rules of Practice 

require all intervenors filing documents 

with the Commission to serve a copy of 

that document on each person on the 

official service list for the project. 

Further, if an intervenor files comments 

or documents with the Commission 

relating to the merits of an issue that 

may affect the responsibilities of a 

particular resource agency, they must 

also serve a copy of the document on 

that resource agency. 

k. This application has been accepted 

for filing and is now ready for 

environmental analysis. 

l. Project description: The project 

facilities would include 10 PowerBuoy 

wave-powered generating units attached 

to seabed anchors, tendon lines, 

subsurface floats, and catenary mooring 

lines. The PowerBuoy units would be 

deployed in an array of three to four 

rows, approximately in a SW–NE 

orientation, and would occupy about 

0.25 square mile of the Pacific Ocean. 

Each PowerBuoy would have a 

maximum diameter of 36 feet, extend 

29.5 feet above the water surface, and 

have a draft of 115 feet. 

A power/fiber optic cable would exit 

the bottom of each PowerBuoy, 

descending to the seabed in a lazy ‘‘S’’ 

shape with subsurface floats attached to 

the cable and a clump weight at the 

seabed. The 10 PowerBuoy units would 

be connected to a single Underwater 

Substation Pod (USP) via power/fiberoptic lines. The USP would be about 6 

feet in diameter and 15 feet in length, 

and would rest on the seabed below the 

PowerBuoys, held in place with precured concrete ballast blocks. A 

submarine transmission cable, buried in 

the seabed to a depth of 3 to 6 feet, 

would extend from the USP to an 

existing wastewater discharge pipe. The 

submarine cable would extend through 

the wastewater pipe to an underground 

vault, which would be constructed at 

the existing turn-around at the end of 

Sparrow Park Road, immediately inland 

of the sand dunes. At the vault, the 

subsea transmission cable would exit 

the effluent pipe, transition to an 

underground cable, and reenter the 

effluent pipe. 

The underground transmission cable 

would continue within the effluent pipe 

eastward for approximately 3 miles, 

where it would connect to the Douglas 

Electric Cooperative transmission line at 

a proposed shore station. The shore 

station would consist of a 100- to 200- 

square foot building. 

m. A copy of the license application 

is available for review at the 

Commission in the Public Reference 

Room or may be viewed on the
