Ocean Renewable Power Company, LLC; Notice of Change in Docket 
Number

    On July 24, 2009, Ocean Renewable Power Company, LLC (ORPC) filed a 
draft hydrokinetic pilot license application (DLA) for the proposed 
Eastport Tidal Energy Project, a proposal that unified two preliminary 
permits held by ORPC, the Cobscook Bay Tidal Energy Project preliminary 
permit (P-12711-004) and the Western Passage Tidal Energy Project 
preliminary permit (P-12680-004). The DLA was assigned a single docket 
number, P-12680-003, to represent the Eastport Tidal Energy Project 
pre-filing proceeding. ORPC has since dropped the Western Passage 
preliminary permit area from its pilot project proposal and is pursuing 
a pilot project license solely for the Cobscook Bay preliminary permit 
area. Due to this change in project proposal, ORPC has changed the name 
of its proposed pilot project from the Eastport Tidal Energy Project to 
the Cobscook Bay Tidal Energy Project.\1\ Due to Western Passage no 
longer being a part of the pilot project proposal, the docket number P-
12680-003 has been closed and the docket number P-12711-003 has been 
created and assigned to the Cobscook Bay Tidal Energy Project pre-
filing proceeding. As part of this change in docket number, all current 
filings and issuances associated with the Eastport Tidal Energy Project 
pre-filing proceeding have been cross-referenced with P-12711-003. All 
future issuances and filings for the Cobscook Bay Tidal Energy Project 
pre-filing proceeding should solely reference docket number P-12711-
003.
