[Project No. 13529-000]

 
City of Morgan City, LA; Notice of Competing Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments and Motions To 
Intervene

August 20, 2009.
    On July 6, 2009, the City of Morgan City, Louisiana filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Wax 
Lake Outlet Project to be located on the Wax Lake Outlet in St. Mary 
Parish, Louisiana. 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) 25 proposed 200 kilowatt 
Underwater Electric Kite generating units having a total installed 
capacity of 5 megawatts; (2) a 1-mile-long, 138 kilovolt transmission 
line; and (3) appurtenant facilities. The proposed Wax Lake Outlet 
Project would have an average annual generation of 43.8 gigawatt-hours.
    Applicant Contact: Genie Bonner, Executive Secretary, 512 First
