University of New Hampshire; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To 
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On June 9, 2009, the University of New Hampshire, Center for Ocean

to study the feasibility of the General Sullivan and Little Bay Bridges

in Rockingham and Strafford Counties, New Hampshire.
    The proposed project would be located near the General Sullivan and 
Little Bay bridges and would consist of: (1) A single 10-foot-wide by 
35-foot-long test platform suspending a variety of hydrokinetic devices 
including a Gorlov Helical turbine generating unit into the river; and

the test platform, therefore no transmission line is proposed.
