Resolute Marine Energy, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit 
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To

    On July 25, 2012, Resolute Marine Energy, Inc. (Resolute or 
Applicant) filed an application for a preliminary permit under section 
4(f) of the Federal Power Act proposing to study the feasibility of the 
Yakutat Alaska Wave Energy Project No. 14438. Resolute supplemented its

located within a 25.26 square mile area within Alaska State submerged 
lands in the Gulf of Alaska, near the City and Borough of Yakutat, 
Alaska.

waters owned by others without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of: (1) Between 7 and 15 Surge 
Wave Energy Converters for a maximum total installed capacity of 750 
kilowatts; (2) a single transmission line to bring project power to 
shore; (3) shore-based power conditioning equipment, transformers, and 
voltage regulations facilities; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The 
project would have an estimated annual generation of 3,942 
megawatthours.
