Oregon Wave Energy Partners I, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

April 16, 2010.
    On March 2, 2010, Oregon Wave Energy Partners I, LLC filed an 
application for a subsequent preliminary permit, pursuant to section 
4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of 
the Coos Bay OPT Wave Park Project. The requested project boundary 
comprises approximately 7.36 square miles of coastal waters, located 
between 2.5 and 3.0 miles off the coast near Coos Bay, Oregon.
    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) 200 PowerBuoys having a 
total installed capacity of 100 megawatts; (2) an approximately 2.5-
mile-long, subsea transmission cable; (3) an approximately 200-yard-
long transmission line connecting to an existing substation; and (4) 
appurtenant facilities. The project would have an estimated average 
annual generation of 276,000 megawatt-hours.

Partners I, LLC, 1590 Reed Road, Pennington, NJ 08534.
