[ Project No. 14127-000]


Natural Currents Energy Services, LLC; Notice of Preliminary 
Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions 
to Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On March 29, 2011, and supplemented on May 31, 2011, Natural 
Currents Energy Services, LLC filed an application, pursuant to section 
4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of 
the Cohansey River Energy Project, which would be located on the 
Cohansey River in Cumberland County, New Jersey. The proposed project 
would not use a dam or impoundment. 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) Installation of 10 to 30 
NC Sea Dragon or Red Hawk tidal turbines at a rated capacity of 100 
kilowatts, (2) an estimated 660 ~ 985 feet in length of additional 
transmission infrastructure, and (3) appurtenant facilities. The 
project is estimated to have an annual minimum generation of 3,504,000 
kilowatt-hours with the installation of 10 units.
    Applicant Contact: Mr. Roger Bason, Natural Currents Energy 
Services, LLC, 24 Roxanne Boulevard, Highland, New York 12561, (845)
