[Project No. 14775-005]


Marine Renewable Energy Collaborative of New England; Notice of 
Availability of Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) 
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office of Energy Projects has 
reviewed the application for a hydrokinetic pilot project license to 
construct and operate the Bourne Tidal Hydrokinetic Test Site Project 
(Bourne Tidal Project, or project). The project would be located on the 
Cape Cod Canal in Barnstable County, Massachusetts. Commission staff 
has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed project.
    The EA contains staff's analysis of the potential environmental 
impacts of the project and concludes that licensing the project, with 
appropriate environmental protective measures, would not constitute a 
major Federal action that would significantly affect the quality of the 
human environment.
    The Commission provides all interested persons with an opportunity 
to view and/or print the EA via the internet through the Commission's 
Home Page (http://www.ferc.gov/), using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter 
the docket number, excluding the last three digits in the docket number 
field, to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online 
Support at [email protected], or toll-free at (866) 208-3676, 
or for TTY, (202) 502-8659.
