Oceanlinx Hawaii LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application 
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and 
Competing Applications

September 15, 2009.
    On August 21, 2009, Oceanlinx Hawaii LLC filed an application for a 
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, 
proposing to study the feasibility of the Oceanlinx Maui Wave Energy 
Project (Oceanlinx Wave Project or project), located in the Pacific 
Ocean about 0.6 statute miles north of Pauwela Point and adjacent lands 
in the County of Maui, Alaska. 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 the following: (1) A 
proposed, 30-meter-wide (98-foot-wide) by 100-meter-long (328-foot-
long) by 10-meter-high (33-foot-high--relative to the ocean surface) 
Wage Energy Converter (WEC) consisting of a floating pontoon moored to 
the seafloor by a cable and anchoring system and containing eight 
Oscillating Water Column (OWC) units with a combined nameplate capacity 
of 2.7 megawatts; (2) a proposed 15-kilovolt (kV), 3,600 or 4,100-foot-
long (depending upon the transmission route chosen) submarine and 
overhead transmission line; and (3) appurtenant facilities. The 
proposed project would have an estimated average annual generation of 
up to about 4,000 megawatt-hours.
