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 BW2 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 2 NC Sea 
Dragon or Red Hawk tidal turbines at a rated capacity of 150 kilowatts, 
(2) an estimated 250 meters in length of additional transmission 
infrastructure, and (3) appurtenant facilities. The project is 
estimated to have an annual minimum generation of 700,800 kilowatt-
hours with the installation of 2 units.

Services, LLC, 24 Roxanne Boulevard, Highland, New York 12561, (845)
