Marine Renewable Energy Collaborative of New England; Notice of 
Successive Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and 
Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On October 24, 2019, Marine Renewable Energy Collaborative of New 
England, Inc. filed an application for a successive preliminary permit, 
pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), to study the 
feasibility of the proposed Bourne Tidal Test Site to be located on the 
Cape Cod Canal, near the Towns of Bourne and Sandwich, in Barnstable 
County, Massachusetts. 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) A 45-foot-high, 23-foot-
wide support structure; (2) a 25-kilowatt turbine-generator unit (other 
in-stream turbine-generators would also be tested at the site); (3) a 
500-foot-long, 13.2-kilovolt transmission line; and (4) appurtenant 
facilities. The estimated average annual generation of the project 
would be 54.7 megawatt-hours. The proposed project would occupy 
approximately 0.10 acres of federal land under the jurisdiction of the 
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
