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

May 24, 2010.
    On May 5, 2010, Natural Currents Energy Services, LLC filed an 
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the 
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Hoffmans 
Marina Tidal Energy Project, which would be located on the Manasquan 
River, in Monmouth County, New Jersey. 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.
    Natural Currents proposes to develop this project, in conjunction 
with Hoffmans Marina, to install and operate in-stream tidal turbines 
to power the office building and marina on site. Natural Currents Red 
Hawk \TM\ Tidal In-Stream Energy Conversion (TISEC) modules will 
generate electricity in the free flow of the tides. The initial 
installations would consist of ten in-stream 20-kilowatt (kW) turbines 
with an initial peak output of 200 kW.
    Applicant Contact: Mr. Roger Bason, Natural Currents Energy 
Services, LLC, 24 Roxanne Boulevard, Highland, NY 12561; phone (845) 
691-4009.
    FERC Contact: John M. Mudre, (202) 502-8902.
    Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, competing 
applications (without notices of intent), or notices of intent to file 
competing applications: 60 days from the issuance of this notice. 
Competing applications and notices of intent must meet the requirements 
of 18 CFR 4.36. Comments, motions to intervene, notices of intent, and 
competing applications may be filed electronically via the Internet.
