FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. John Yagecic, Supervisor, Standards and Assessment Section, DRBC Modeling, Monitoring and Assessment Branch, via e-mail to john.yagecic@drbc.state.nj.us or by telephone to 609–883–9500, ext. 271. The Delaware River Basin Commission (‘‘DRBC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) is an interstate and Federal compact agency that was created in 1961 by concurrent legislation of the States of Delaware, New Jersey, and New York, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the United States Government for purpose of jointly managing the water resources of the Delaware River Basin. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 30057 DRBC currently is compiling data for the 2010 Delaware River and Bay Integrated List Water Quality Assessment (‘‘2010 Assessment’’) required by the federal Clean Water Act (CWA). The 2010 Assessment will present the extent to which waters of the Delaware River and Bay are attaining designated uses in accordance with Section 305(b) of the CWA and will identify impaired waters, which consist of waters that exceed surface water quality standards. Substantial changes from the 2008 methodology have been proposed, including the consideration of biological monitoring results in the assessment process. The assessment methodology to be used in the 2010 Assessment is available for review at the following URL: https://www.state.nj.us/drbc/ 10IntegratedList-DraftMethod.htm. In the 2008 Assessment DRBC proposes to reduce the number of assessment units from the number used in 2006 by consolidating the units into DRBC’s Water Quality Management Zones 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 2, 3, 4, and 5, the boundaries of which are defined in DRBC’s Water Quality Regulations (18 CFR Part 410), available on the Web at https://www.state.nj.us/drbc/regs/ WQRegs_092607.pdf. The 2008 Assessment will continue, however, to include subunits within Zone 6 that are defined in part by shellfish management directives issued by the States of Delaware and New Jersey. The 2010 Assessment will continue this process and also will include consideration of biological monitoring results. June 17, 2009. Pamela M. Bush, Commission Secretary. [FR Doc.

E9–14839 Filed 6–23–09; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4000–01–P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Project No. 13498–000] SARA, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications June 17, 2009. On June 2, 2009, SARA, Inc. filed an application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the SWAVE Catalina Green Wave Energy Project, located in the Pacific Ocean approximately 0.75 mile off the west coast of Santa Catalina Island, on submerged lands of the State of California. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners’ express permission. The project would consist of an array of 10–40 SWAVE buoys, mounted in a staggered array in about 225 to 300 feet of water. The project zone is a rectangle about 0.5 nautical mile wide by 1.75 nautical miles long. The exact layout of the buoy array would be determined once a oceanographic site survey has been completed. The units would be designed with a peak capacity of 150 kilowatts each, for a total peak capacity of the 1.5–6 megawatts. The buoys would be secured in place with a mooring system. The buoys themselves would be easy to disconnect from their mooring to allow easy removal in the case they are found to cause environmental damage. The buoy array would be connected to an underwater junction box and that conditions the power and transmits it to shore in the vicinity of the city of Avalon through a high-voltage power transmission cable.
