Natural Currents Energy Services, LLC; Notice of Preliminary 
Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions 
To Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On July 13, 2011, Natural Currents Energy Services, LLC filed an 
application, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of the Dorchester--Maurice Tidal 
Energy Project, which would be located on the Maurice River in 
Cumberland County, New Jersey. The proposed project would not use a 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) Installation of 1 to 10 
NC Sea Dragon or Red Hawk tidal turbines at a rated capacity of 100 
kilowatts, (2) an estimated 700 meters in length of additional 
transmission infrastructure, and (3) appurtenant facilities. The 
project is estimated to have an annual minimum generation of 3,504,000 
kilowatt-hours with the installation of 10 units.
    Applicant Contact: Mr. Roger Bason, Natural Currents Energy 
Services, LLC, 24 Roxanne Boulevard, Highland, New York 12561, (845)

    Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, competing 
applications (without notices of intent), or notices of intent to file
