[Project No. 12680–004] 

Western Passage OCGenTM Power 

Project; Notice of Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliciting Comments, Motions To 

Intervene, and Competing Applications 

September 24, 2010. 

On July 1, 2010, ORPC Maine, LLC 

(ORPC Maine) filed an application for a 

preliminary permit, pursuant to section 

4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing 

to study the feasibility of the Western 

Passage OCGenTM Power Project, 

located in Western Passage, in the 

vicinity of the City of Eastport, 

Washington County, Maine. 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) 2 OCGenTM hydrokinetic tidal 

devices each consisting of four 150- 

kilowatt turbine generator units for a 

combined capacity of 1,200 kilowatts; 

(2) an anchoring support structure; (3) a 

mooring system; (4) a 1,500-foot-long 

submersible cable connecting the 

turbine-generating units of each device 

to a shore station; (5) a 2,800-foot-long, 

34.5-kilovolt transmission line 

connecting the shore station to an 

existing distribution line; and (6) 

appurtenant facilities. The estimated 

annual generation of the Western 

Passage OCGenTM Power Project would 

be 3.12 to 3.96 gigawatt-hours.

prior notice request pursuant to sections 

157.205, 157.208, and 157.210 of the 

Commission’s regulations under the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization 

to drill construct an additional 

compressor unit in Mobile County, 

Alabama. Specifically, Gulf South 

proposes to construct one 2,375 

horsepower (hp) reciprocating 

compressor unit at its existing Airport 

Compressor Station. Gulf South states 

that the additional compressor unit is 

necessary to increase the reliability of 

the Airport Compressor Station by 

allowing the station to operate at both 

a lower minimum flow and higher 

maximum flow. Additionally, Gulf 

South proposes to construct a new 

building to house the existing 4,735 hp 

compressor unit, the new 2,375 hp unit, 

and a service crane/warehouse area, all 

as more fully set forth in the 

application, which is on file with the 

Commission and open to public 

inspection. The filing may also be 

viewed on the web at http://
