[Project No. P-14743-000]


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

    On December 4, 2015, ORPC Maine, LLC (ORPC Maine) filed an 
application

[[Page 3407]]

for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power 
Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Western Passage 
Tidal Energy Project No. 14743 (Western Passage Project) to be located 
in Western Passage, near the City of Eastport, Washington County, 
Maine. 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) 15 double TidGen[supreg] 
TGU hydrokinetic tidal devices, each consisting of a 500-kilowatt 
turbine-generator unit for a combined capacity of 5,000 kilowatts; (2) 
an anchoring support structure; (3) a mooring system; (4) a 3,900 to 
4,200-foot-long submersible cable connecting the turbine-generator 
units to a shore station; (5) a 1,900 to 4,600-foot-long, 4.16- to 
12.7-kilovolt transmission line connecting the shore station to an 
existing distribution line; and (6) appurtenant facilities. The 
estimated average annual generation of the Western Passage Project 
would be 2.6 to 3.53 gigawatt-hours. There are no federal lands 
associated with the project.
